          WHEREAS OVER HALF OF A CENTURY AGO THE NATION WAS MOVED BY YOUNG PREACHER THERE CALLED A GENERATION TO ACTION AND BECAME A CATALYST FOR SOCIAL CHANGE. WHEREAS DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BELIEVED ALL PEOPLE ARE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE AND CREATED EQUAL AND DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO THE STRUGGLE FOR EQUALITY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL AMERICANS AND WHEREAS DOCTOR KING ADVOCATED NONVIOLENCE WILL OVERCOME RACISM IN AMERICAN LED THE EFFORT THAT RESULTED IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS AND THE VOTING RIGHTS OF 1965 THAT GUARANTEED ALL CITIZENS THE RIGHT TO VOTE REGARDLESS OF RACE. AND WHEREAS DOCTOR KING IS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF AMERICA'S GREATEST VISIONARY LEADERS WHO DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO EMPOWERING PEOPLE AND CHALLENGING THEM TO LIFT UP THEIR NEIGHBORS AND COMMUNITIES, BEFORE TRAGICALLY BEING ASSASSINATED IN 19 STAY. WHEREAS THE COMMEMORATION OF HIS LEGACY SHOULD NOT ONLY BE A TRIBUTE TO HIS CONTRIBUTIONS BUT A REMINDER THAT EVERY DAY EACH OF US CAN STAY A PART QUICK CONTINUING THIS WORK.

THIS UP FOR ME. THANKS AGAIN. 
          [Clay County Utility Authority Update - Jeremy Johnston]
          >> OKAY NEXT UP IS JEREMY JOHNSTON WITH THE CLAY COUNTY UTILITY AUTHORITY TO GIVE US SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF WHAT THEY 
          HAVE BEEN UP TO. >> GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS. I WANT TO FIRST SAY THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND THE TEAM TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH OUR TRANSITION IN THE LAST 24 MONTHS. OUR PLANNING EFFORTS AND THE GROWTH EFFORTS THAT WE ARE WELL IN FRONT OF. 
          COMING UP, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT OUR TEAM AND TRANSITION AND OUR PLANNING EFFORTS, SPECIFICALLY ON OUR MISSION STATEMENT AND THE WORKFORCE AND TRAINING. OUR INTEGRATED RESOURCES AND WHAT WE ARE INITIATING. INTRODUCING OUR TEAM I HAVE BEEN BEFORE THE COMMISSION NUMEROUS TIMES MY NAME IS JEREMY JOHNSTON AND I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. I WANT TO INTRODUCE THE SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM THAT GUIDES AND LEADS THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION. 
          I BEGIN WITH SHOEMAKER. JEFF IS THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. PAUL IS THE CHIEF ENGINEER AND KIM RICHARDSON IS THE CHIEF HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER. 
          I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD AND WELCOME TENANTS, HE JUST RECENTLY JOINED OUR ORGANIZATION AS THE PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS SO YOU WILL BE SEEING A LOT MORE OF HIM. 
          LIKE CLAY COUNTY, WE ARE IN A PERIOD OF TRANSITION. 
          FROM A POPULATION WISE, WE WOULD BE IN THE CATEGORY OF A LARGE UTILITY BUT A LOT OF OUR SYSTEMS AND PROCEDURES AND ET CETERA SIT IN THE SMALL AND MEDIUM RANGE OF UTILITY CATEGORIES. 
          THERE IS A CONSORTED EFFORT TO ADVANCE THIS TO STANDARDIZE THESE PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES AND BRING MORE SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE INTO THE ORGANIZATION TO MEET THE LEVEL OF SERVICE AND EXPECTATIONS OF CUSTOMERS. WHEN I BECAME EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR I PROPOSED TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS REORGANIZING THE UTILITY. WE WERE QUITE INTENTIONAL IN THE EFFORT AND WE ORGANIZE THE UTILITY AROUND CORE DISCIPLINES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF CUSTOMERS. THE CHART SHOWS OUR CORPORATE STRUCTURE WHICH CENTERS AROUND FINANCE, ENGINEERING, OPERATIONS AND HUMAN RESOURCES AND RISK MANAGEMENT. 
          ALSO IN THE TRANSITION I PROPOSE TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AND THEY DID APPROVE ADDING DISCIPLINES INTO THE ORGANIZATION THAT HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY EXISTED PRIOR. 
          THIS INCLUDES RISK AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT, PROCUREMENT, INVENTORY CONTROL, ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND THAT SIMPLY MEANS REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROL OF THE FACILITIES AND SYSTEMS. ALL OF THESE EFFORTS ARE TO HELP US OPERATE MORE EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY BRINGING VALUE TO THE CUSTOMER'S LONG-TERM. 
          AS I TRANSITION INTO STRATEGIC PLANNING I WILL FOCUS ON THREE AREAS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT RESOURCE PLANNING AND A RATE STUDY AS I NOTED WE JUST RECENTLY INITIATED. 
          WHEN WE GET INTO STRATEGIC PLANNING I WANT TO START WITH THE MISSION STATEMENT. WHEN I INTERVIEWED FOR THE JOB OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR I PROPOSE A STATEMENT TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND THIS IS WHAT IS BEFORE YOU. 
          THIS MISSION STATEMENT IDENTIFIES THE IDEAS OF INFIRM VINYL AND SUSTAINABILITY WHILE REMAINING FOCUSED ON OUR CORE PUBLIC MISSION WHICH IS PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND THE GENERAL WELFARE THROUGH THE DELIVERY OF SAFE AND RELIABLE DRINKING WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICES TO THE CUSTOMERS. 
          TIED TO THAT IS THE CONSERVATION OF THE NATIONAL RESOURCES THAT ARE SO IMPORTANT TO THE COMMUNITY HERE IN CLAY COUNTY. 
          WE WILL DO THAT BITE DIVERSIFICATION OF THE WATER SUPPLY PORTFOLIO, THE NATURAL RESOURCES AND PREPARING A HIGHLY TRAINED STAFF THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF CUSTOMERS AND PREPARED FOR TOMORROW'S CHALLENGES. AS PART OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS, THOSE THAT KNOW ME IMA STANDARDS AND 
          [00:20:06]
NUMBERS GOT. THROUGH THIS PLANNING PROCESS WE ARE STAYING WITH THE SAME THING. WE ARE USING A DOCUMENT THAT WAS REDUCED THROUGH THE EPA AND ENDORSED THROUGH ASSOCIATIONS. 
          THIS IS THE EFFECTIVE UTILITY MANAGEMENT. 
          WE ARE COMPLETING PHASE WON OF THE PROCESS WHICH IS THE BIG OVERVIEW FRAMEWORK FOR A LONG-TERM PLAN FOR THE UTILITY. 
          THAT PRESENTATION OF THE PHASE I RESULTS WILL BE GIVEN TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN FEBRUARY. 
          ALSO AT THE SAME BOARD MEETING WE INTEND TO ASK THE BOARD TO CONTINUE ON WITH THE PHASE TWO OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN WHICH IS THE DETAILED MINUTIA OF WEAVING ALL OF THE ELEMENTS WHEN IT COMES TO LABOR AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND EVERYTHING TOGETHER. WE WILL BE ASKED TO PROCEED WITH PHASE TWO IN FEBRUARY. I WILL START WITH WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT PEOPLE. 
          THE PEOPLE WE SERVE AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORK AT THE UTILITY AUTHORITY THAT MAKES THINGS HAPPEN. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND ABOUT EIGHT UTILITY IS IT IS A HIGHLY REGULATED INDUSTRY BECAUSE IT DEALS WITH PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND GENERAL WELFARE. 
          WHAT IS ALSO UNIQUE ABOUT THE INDUSTRY CURRENTLY THERE ARE FAR MORE PEOPLE RETIRING AND LEAVING THOSE TRADES AND PROFESSIONS THEN COMING INTO IT. ON TOP OF THAT BECAUSE WE ARE AND ESSENTIAL SERVICE COMPETITION AMONGST MUNICIPALITIES IS VERY HIGH BEEN DRIVING OUT COMPETITION FOR LICENSE OPERATORS AND PROFESSIONALS. 
          WE ARE ALSO IN AN INCREASING REVELATORY ENVIRONMENT THAT IS ALSO ADDING TO THE COMPETITION FOR THOSE LICENSE OPERATORS AND PROFESSONALS. BUT WE ARE NOT SITTING IDLY BY WHEN IT COMES TO WORKFORCE ISSUES. 
          WE ARE VERY MUCH ENGAGED. WE WENT THROUGH A MULTIPLE STEP PROCESS WHERE WE BUMPED WAGES FOR THE STAFF AND SPECIFICALLY THE LICENSE OPERATORS. WE HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTING NEW TECHNOLOGY WHICH IS SEEN IN THE ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. 
          WE ARE REVITALIZING THE HIGH SCHOOL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CLAY COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD AND WE ARE LOOKING TO HAVE THAT BACK AND FULLY OPERATIONAL BY THIS FALL. 
          WE ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING A STAFF TRAINING AND INCENTIVE PROGRAM, WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME AND WORK AN ENTIRE CAREER AND HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THOSE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES ARE AND WHAT IS THE FINANCIAL INCENTIVES TO GET ADVANCED LICENSES AND HOW THAT WORKS IN THE ORGANIZATION. 
          ANY UTILITY AND WE IN PARTICULAR THE ORGANIZATION. 
          BECAUSE THESE DEPARTMENTS OPERATE SO DIFFERENT. 
          WE NEED LICENSE WATER OPERATRS WASTEWATER TREATMENT OPERATORS, WE NEED ENGINEERS, ACCOUNTANTS AND ET CETERA. 
          THERE ARE MULTIPLE CAREER PATHS AND ALL OF THEM ARE CHALLENGING AND REWARDING CAREERS. NEXT I WILL MOVE INTO INTEGRATIVE WATER PLANNING. WE ARE ALL AWARE OF THE FIRST COAST EXPRESSWAY. THIS IS BRINGING SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH INTO OUR SERVICE AREA. WE EXPECT THE UTILITY TO DOUBLE IN SIZE WITH THE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS OVER THE NEXT 20-25 YEARS. BACK GROWTH IN POPULATIONS PUTTING A STRAIN ON OUR NATURAL RESOURCES. 
          THIS TOPIC HAS BEEN BEFORE THE COMMISSION WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE KEYSTONE HEIGHTS AND THE OTHER NUMEROUS ISSUES ACROSS THE STATE. OUR GROWTH IN POPULATION MEANS DIVERSIFICATION OF THE WATER RESOURCES FOR WATER SUPPLY WILL BE KEY FOR LONG-TERM SUCCESS. WHEN IT COMES TO INTEGRATIVE WATER RESOURCE PLANNING THIS IS SOMETHING WE DO ON A REGULAR BASIS. WE HAVE A HOLT SERVICE AVAILABILITY DEPARTMENT DEDICATED TO MONITORING WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY. 
          THESE TWO MAPS SHOW IN LARGE NORTHERN SERVICE AREAS WHICH IS WHERE MOST OF THE GROWTH IS OCCURRING. 
          WE MONITOR LINE CAPACITY ET CETERA. 
          THIS GRAPHIC ON THE RIGHT WHICH IS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST, IT SHOWS BOTH SERVICE AREA AND THE BLUE IS THE SERVICE LINES AND THE RED AND BLUE ARE VARIOUS DEVELOPMENTS AND DEVELOPER AGREEMENTS THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE OR MOTION. 
          THIS RELATES TO NEARLY $90 MILLION OF CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS ALREADY IN SOME FORM OF PLANNING, DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION. I WILL ALSO.OUT OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IS NORTH OF $250 MILLION. THIS INTEGRATED PLANNING EFFORT WILL LIKELY EXPAND THIS IN THE COMING YEARS. 
          [00:25:06]
TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR INTEGRATED PLANNING EFFORTS THIS IS A SCHEMATIC OF WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING WITH THE TEAM. 
          THIS EFFORT IS A PROCESS, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF INPUT AND OPTIONS AS WELL AS GOALS, OBJECTIVES, DECISION MATRIX ET CETERA. WE PUT IT INTO A SYSTEM AND IT CREATES A LOT OF OPTIONS AND ITERATIONS AND THE OUTPUT WILL BE A LIST OF RECOMMENDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. 
          THE DELIVERABLE OUT OF THIS PLANNING EFFORT WILL BE THE FIRST FIVE-YEAR PROGRAM AS WELL AS A LONG-TERM 20 YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. CRITIQUE ANY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE FORECASTING LEADING IT. 
          IT LEADS TO THE DECISION OF WHEN AND WHERE TO PUT INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          WE HAD A CONSORTED EFFORT, DOING A LOT OF SIMULATIONS WHEN WE WERE ENGAGED WITH THE DISTRICT ABOUT OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE BLACK CREEK WATER PROJECT. THAT IS WHERE YOU SEE THE 24 MILLION TODAY. IT IS WHERE WE EXPECT TO BE IN THE NEXT 25 YEARS. SINCE THAT EFFORT WE HAVE ENGAGED TO OTHER EXPERTS IN THIS AREA. 
          THE CHA TEAM IS LEADING OUR PERMIT RENEWAL EFFORT AND THE CD SMITH LEADING OUR WATER REPLANNING EXPERTS. 
          THEY ARE EXPERTS IN PLANNING. I HOPE YOU REST ASSURED THAT THEIR CONCLUSIONS CAME PRETTY DARN CLOSE TO THE FORECASTING WE ALREADY DID AS PART OF THE BLACK CREEK PROJECT. 
          IT IS VERY CONSISTENT AROUND THE DEMAND OVER THE NEXT 25 YEARS. 
          IN THE INTEGRATED PLANNING THIS IS A PUZZLE THAT HAS A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PARTS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY PART OF IT. 
          WE ARE EXPANDING BECAUSE OF THE SUSTAINABLE RESTRAINTS ON THE NATURAL RESOURCES. RECLAIMED WATER IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF IT FOR IRRIGATION. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS TO CONSIDER AND I WILL GET INTO THAT IT'S MORE STORAGE AND AVAILABILITY. WE HAD FEASIBILITY AND I WILL TALK ABOUT THAT. AND THE RECLAIMED WATER PROJECT. 
          WATER IS SOMETHING WE MONITOR EVERY MONTH. 
          THIS IS TEN YEARS WORTH OF DATA. THE RED LINE IS THE DEMAND OF THE CUSTOMERS MONTH AFTER MONTH. I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER KUDOS TO OUR CUSTOMERS BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, THE TOTAL WATER DEMAND TODAY IS 3.2% LESS TODAY THAN IT WAS IN 2008M2009. 
          THAT IS IMPRESSIVE WHEN YOU THINK WE HAVE NEARLY 9500 ADDITIONAL ACCOUNTS ON OUR SYSTEM. 
          THAT IS OVER 26,000 ADDITIONAL PEOPLE. 
          AND DUE TO THE RATE STRUCTURE AND OTHERS WE ARE PUMPING LESS WATER TODAY TO OUR CUSTOMERS THEN WE DID TEN YEARS AGO. 
          RECLAIMD WATER THIS IS AN INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT RESOURCE AND IT IS AN INTERESTING SET OF CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE. YEARS WORTH OF DATA, YOU CAN SEE THE RECLAIMED WATER USE IS VARIABLE. 
          THERE ARE SUBSTANTIAL CHALLENGES GETTING SUPPLY AND DEMAND TO MEET BECAUSE THEY FUNCTION AS POLAR OPPOSITES. 
          THERE IS A SIDE EFFECT OF WATER CONSERVATION. 
          WHERE IT USED TO TAKE 3-FOR CUSTOMERS, BECAUSE OF CONSERVATION IT IS NOW 4-5 SUPPORT ONE RECLAIMED CUSTOMER. 
          OBVIOUSLY, STORAGE AND SUPPLY AND DEMAND, STORAGE IS A KEY ELEMENT. THAT LEADS TO WHAT WE DID WITH THE LOWER FLOOR. THIS IS A NUMBER OF OPPORTUNITIES WE WANTED TO INVESTIGATE. 
          ON THEIR OWN FUNDS THEY STARTED THIS FEASIBILITY STUDY THAT WE COMPLETED IN 2021. WE DRILLED IN THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO GET A PROFILE. WE WERE TESTING THE HYDROLOGY. 
          IT PRESENTS A NUMBER OF OPPORTUNITIES. 
          NUMBER ONE IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE THIS AS A POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY. ALSO, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HIGHLY 
          [00:30:04]
TREATED RECLAIMED WATER OR PURIFIED WATER ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES TO USE THIS FOR STORAGE AND RECOVERY WHERE WE PLACE BOAT WATER AND THEN WITHDRAW IT WHEN WE NEED IT. 
          AND IS THERE OPPORTUNITY FOR INJECTION OF THE PURIFIED WATER AND WHAT ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS ARE THEREFROM THOSE SYSTEMS. NEXT I WILL MOVE TO THE STORMWATER HARVESTING. 
          MANY OF YOU WERE AT THE RIBBON-CUTTING FOR THIS SYSTEM. 
          IT IS CURRENTLY OPERATING IN UNDER THE TESTING CONTRACT WITH THE JACOBS ENGINEERING TEAM. WE ARE TESTING FOR WATER QUALITY AND QUANTITY. QUALITY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE DEPENDING ON THE QUALITY WILL DETERMINE THE TYPE OF TREATMENT NEEDED TO DELIVER THIS TYPE OF WATER RESOURCE TO THE CUSTOMERS. 
          MORE TREATMENT MEANS MORE COST INTO THE SYSTEM. 
          ALSO WATER QUANTITY IS A VITAL ISSUE WHEN DEALING WITH HARVESTING HARVESTING. WHEN YOU THINK OF STORM WATER PONDS THEY ARE GENERALLY LOCATED IN THE LOWEST LYING AREA AND GENERALLY IN SOME OF THE POOREST SOIL CONDITIONS. 
          WILL YOU GET THE WATER THAT YOU WANT OUT OF THE SYSTEMS TO MAKE IT ECONOMICALLY VIABLE. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE DOLLARS PER TREATED AND THE YIELD COMING OUT OF THE SYSTEM WE DECIDED TO TEST IT IN REAL LIFE AND THAT IS WHAT THE PILOT PROJECT IS ABOUT. 
          THIS WILL DETERMINE THE DECISION-MAKING FOR USING BOTH SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT CLAY COUNTY. NEXT I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE PILOT PROJECT. THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGN. AND LIKE I TALKED ABOUT HIRING EXPERTS, WE DID THE SAME THING IN THIS EFFORT. 
          THE ENGINEERING TEAM RECOGNIZED EXPERTS. 
          THEY HAVE AWARDS IN THIS AREA AND WE HAVE ENGAGED THEM IN THIS EFFORT. THROUGH THIS COLLABORATION WE HAVE SELECTED AND ALSO AN ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER SYSTEM SAY THAT THREE TIMES FAST. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THIS TYPE OF A SYSTEM DOES NOT CREATE A TREATMENT PROCESS. 
          THE REVERSE OSMOSIS WHICH ARE TYPICALLY TREATED SYSTEMS, THEY CREATE A -- AND WE DON'T HAVE A FEASIBLE WAY TO ADDRESS THE BYPRODUCT AREA ISSUED. IT IS IMPORTANT TO US TO TEST THE SYSTEM AND WE ARE LEAVING THE WAY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA THERE ARE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES LOOKING AT WHAT WE ARE DOING IS THIS A SYSTEM TO ADDRESS THEIR WATER SUPPLY NEEDS ELSEWHERE IN THE STATE. INITIALLY THIS WILL PRODUCE 20 GALLONS PER MINUTE. THIS WILL HAVE A NICE AND WE INTEND TO TEST THE SYSTEMS AT THE FACILITY. 
          THIS WILL ALSO GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRAIN STAFF FROM THE WATER AND WASTEWATER DEPARTMENTS. 
          THIS WILL ALSO GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE STAKEHOLDERS. THIS COMMISSION THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS AND REGULATORY AGENCIES DOWN TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS CAN COME TO THE FACILITY, SEE, TOUCH AND FEEL WE ARE DOING AND DRINK THE WATER THE SYSTEM PRODUCES. I HAVE SET A LOT AND THERE'S A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE HERE. THE NEXT THING OBVIOUSLY FELT LOGICAL QUESTION IS HOW WILL WE PAY FOR IT. 
          I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE THAT OUT OF THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS SO WE HAVE INITIATED A RATE STUDY. 
          THERE ARE THREE DRIVERS. REGULATIONS COVER HOW MANY HOURS PER DAY THEY ARE MAN AND HOW MANY OPERATORS HAVE TO MAN THEM. 
          THERE ARE NUMEROUS REGULATIONS COVERING ASSET MANAGEMENT AND THE TREATMENT LEVELS ET CETERA. REGULATIONS ARE WHAT WE DO ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. OUR CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          THERE ARE A LOT OF DOLLARS INVESTED. 
          RIGHT NOW THE GOING RATE TO TREAT 1 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER IS RUNNING SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 25 MILLION FOR EVERY 1 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER TREATED. 
          THAT IS A SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT. 
          ON TOP OF THAT HOW DO YOU OPERATED ALL. 
          THERE IS LICENSE STAFF NEEDED. ELECTRIC BILLS. 
          ALL OF THESE EXPENSES AFFECT THE RATE. 
          [00:35:01]
THAT IS WHY WE ENGAGE THE TEAM. BUT TEAM WORKING ON INTEGRATIVE PLANS AND THE INPUT THAT LEADS TO THE RATE STUDY. 
          THEY HAVE RECOGNIZED EXPERTS WHO HAVE DONE STUDIES FOR OTHER UTILITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THEY ARE RECOGNIZED IN THIS AREA OF PRACTICE. THE RATE STUDY THEY WILL DO WILL INCLUDE EVALUATION OF THE BASE CHARGES, FLOW CHARGES, CAPACITY FEES AND LIST OF USER FEES. THE OUTPUT WILL BE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LONG-TERM PLANS ARE FILED DO WE FUND AND PAY FOR CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, ANY CHANGES IN REGULATION HOW DO WE FINANCE ALL OF THIS LONG TERM. 
          I WILL SAY WE ARE SENSITIVE TO RATES. 
          I AM A RATE PLAYER -- BACK PAY ARE. 
          ALMOST ALL OF US. WE GET THAT THERE IS A MONTHLY BILL AND WE WANT TO BE SENSITIVE TO THAT BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY AND WE WANT TO BE ECONOMICALLY COMPETITIVE FOR THE GROWTH COMING. 
          WE BENCHMARK OURSELVES AGAINST OTHER UTILITIES IN THE AREA AND THOSE COMPARABLE AS FAR AS STRUCTURE. 
          ONE THING I WILL DRAW ATTENTION TOO, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WATER DEMAND AND YOU LOOK AT OUR CUSTOMER BASE, OUR MEETING WATER USE IS SOMEWHERE IN THAT SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT PHOTOGRAPHS WE ARE THE LOWEST MONTHLY BILL WHEN COMPARED OR BENCHMARKED AGAINST OTHER UTILITIES. WHEN YOU TAKE AN AVERAGE ACROSS THE WATER USE WE REMAIN THE LOWEST AS WELL. 
          WE HAVE ALSO BEGAN PRESENTING TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WHAT THE WATER DEMAND LOOKS LIKE AND HOW IT RELATES TO CUSTOMER BILLS. THESE GRAPHICS COMPARE WATER DEMAND FOR CUSTOMERS WITH AND WITHOUT RECLAIMED WATER. 
          THE RED LINE IS THE CURVE. THIS IS THE DEMAND IN THOUSAND DOLLAR INCREMENTS. THE Y AXIS IS THE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS IN THAT PARTICULAR CATEGORY. 
          THE Y AXES ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS HOW IT RELATES TO AN AVERAGE BILL. YOU CAN SEE THE OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF CUSTOMERS, THE BILLS ARE UNDER $100 PER MONTH. 
          IT IS SOMETHING WE ARE MONITORING AND EVALUATING AND WE SO BRINGING THIS TOGETHER AND KEY DELIVERY DATES WE HAVE ON THE HORIZON AND BRINGING THIS TOGETHER, LIKE I PREVIOUSLY NOTED THE FIRST PHASE OF THE EFFORT WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN FEBRUARY AND AT THE SAME MEETING WE WILL BE REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION TO PROCED WITH PHASE TWO. 
          THE RESOURCE PLANNING EFFORT IS 50% COMPLETE. 
          WE ARE LOOKING TO DELIVER THAT SOMETIME THIS SUMMER. 
          THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS FROM THE PLANNING THAT FEEDS INTO THE RATE STUDY AND THOSE SHOULD CONCLUDE IN PARALLEL. 
          WE ARE LOOKING TO CONCLUDE THE RATE STUDY THIS SUMMER AS WELL. 
          THE ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY WE GIVE AN UPDATE BY JULY 1 EVERY SINGLE YEAR. A LOT OF THESE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN YEARS IN THE MAKING THE AMOUNT OF STUDIES THAT HAVE GONE INTO THEM TO GET THEM INTO THE PLAN. WE UPDATE THE BOARD AND THOSE ARE AVAILABLE TO ANY INTERESTED STAKEHOLDER. 
          WITH THAT, I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND IF I CAN I BROUGHT THE TEAM WITH ME WE WILL GET ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS. 
          >> I HAVE A COUPLE OF NOTES. YOU SPOKE ABOUT THE CONCERNS MY CONSTITUENTS HAVE. I WANTED TO ASK YOU TO BIG ITEMS. THE FIRST IS NIAGARA, IT'S A VERY BIG CONCERN WITH THE CONSTITUENTS, THEY KNOW WATER IS PRECIOUS AND THEY FEEL IT IS TAKEN AWAY AND WILL GREATLY AFFECT THE WATER SUPPLY, CAN YOU SPEAK ON THAT. 
          I WANT TO LET THE CONSTITUENTS KNOW, WHAT IS THE TRUTH TO THAT. 
          >> WE ARE GOVERNED BY A PERMIT. IN THAT PERMIT, IT DOES HAVE WATER USE ALLOCATIONS. COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES ARE ANTICIPATED IN THE PERMIT. WHEN IT COMES TO A USER, WE LOOK AT WHAT IS THE CAPACITY AVAILABLE AND ARE WE ABLE TO SERVE AND IF WE HAVE THE AVAILABLE CAPACITY WE'VE MOVED THROUGH AND AUTHORIZE THAT THROUGH THE SERVICE AVAILABILITY PROCESS. IT IS TREATED THE SAME AS ANY 
          [00:40:04]
OTHER DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS THEY CAME TO US. 
          THEY REQUESTED SERVICE. WE ANALYZED THEIR WATER USE. 
          THEY WERE BETWEEN TWO EXISTING PLANTS THAT ADD SIGNIFICANT CAPACITY. THE CAPACITY WAS THERE AND THE LINE INFRASTRUCTURE EXISTED AND IT WAS IDLE. 
          THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL NEED FOR THE UTILITY BECAUSE THE CAPACITY WAS THERE. WE FOLLOWED OUR SERVICE AVAILABILITY PROCESS THROUGH THE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT. 
          I WILL ALSO SAVE THOSE NUMBERS FOR THAT PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT THEY ARE IN OUR FORECASTING. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE LONG TERM THAT INCLUDES THAT USER AS WELL AS OTHERS. 
          WE ARE TRYING TO ANTICIPATE THAT. 
          >> AS FAR AS THE EFFECT FOR NIAGARA ON THE AREA AND THE HOMES AROUND THE AREA, THERE IS MINIMUM, WOULD YOU SAY? 
          >> SHOULD SEE NO DIFFERENCE IN SURFACE. 
          THE PLANTS HAVE PLENTY OF IDLE CAPACITY. 
          AS FAR AS DELIVERING SERVICE THEY SHOULD SEE NO DIFFERENCE IN 
          PROVIDING SERVICE. >> WE ARE DEALING WITH SEPTIC TANKS IN THE COUNTY. I SAW AN ARTICLE RECENTLY THAT THE DISTRICT IS CONVERTING SEPTIC TANKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH CC YOU A PAIR WHAT IS THE FEELING OR PHILOSOPHY ON SEPTIC TO SEWER, WHAT ARE YOUR FEELINGS ON THAT? 
          >> I THINK IT IS A GOOD PROGRAM. THE ONE YOU ARE REFERRING TO IS UNIQUE BECAUSE IT DID PROVIDE A BENEFIT TO HOMEOWNERS WHERE THERE WAS A WAY TO PAY FOR THE CAPACITY FEES. 
          THOSE SEPTIC TANKS ARE BEING DISMANTLED AND THEY ARE NOW CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM. IT IS REMOVING NUTRIENTS FROM WHAT WE WOULD BE MIGRATING TO. WE APPRECIATED THE PROGRAM SO MUCH THAT WE TOOK THE INITIATIVE AND WE PAY JONES EDMUNDS TO DEVELOP A MASTER PLAN TO PHASE OUT THE SEPTIC TANKS ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF DOCTORS LAKE. NOW THERE ARE SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES BECAUSE THERE ARE BIG TREES AND RIGHT-OF-WAY SPIRIT THERE ARE THINGS AS WE MOVE FORWARD THAT WE WANT TO BE SENSITIVE TO THE HOMEOWNER AND THE AESTHETIC SPIRIT BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE MOVING FORWARD, THIS. 
          AND WE WERE RECENTLY AWARDED, $600,000 TO BEGIN THE CONVERSION 
          EFFORT. >> WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT 
          CONTINUE. >> SO WE HAVE MANY OTHER WATERWAYS THAT GO INTO THE RIVER. 
          WHAT ARE YOUR FEELINGS, IF WE HAVE A DEVELOPMENT THAT WANT TO PUT IN SEPTIC TANKS THOSE NUTRIENTS WOULD GO INTO THE WATERWAY EVENTUALLY, IS THAT CORRECT? 
          >> ANYTIME YOU HAVE THE SEPTIC TANK, THERE ARE NUTRIENTS ADDED TO THE SYSTEM. AS FAR AS BLACK CREEK I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. ANYTIME YOU CAN SPLIT A CENTRALIZED SYSTEM TO TREAT THEM TO THE LEVEL OF OUR SYSTEMS, WE HAVE ADVANCED WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER THAN THE SEPTIC TANK. 
          I WOULD DEFINITELY, IS IT ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE TO DO THE INFRASTRUCTURE. WE ARE OPEN TO THAT. 
          >> REGARDLESS, THIS WOULD BE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE WATERWAYS, WOULD YOU SAY? 
          >> CORRECT. THIS IS SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER THAN ANYTHING YOU WILL PUT IN YOUR BACKYARD. 
          >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR COMING TOO. 
          >> I TRAVEL. SO I'M TRYING TO BE COGNIZANT. 
          I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU COULD HEAR ME. 
          LET ME TAKE OFF MY MASK. WHERE DO YOU SEE YOUR 
          [00:45:06]
DEVELOPMENT GOING, AND MAYBE WE DON'T KNOW YET MAYBE IT IS PART OF YOUR STRATEGIC PLANNING. WHERE DO YOU SEE GROWTH GROWING PRIMARILY IN THE SOUTH. WE KNOW THERE'S LOTS OF DEVELOPMENT IN DISTRICT FIVE GOING ON, A LOT OF YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS GOING IN THERE BUT DO YOU SEE YOURSELF GOING SOUTH OR DO YOU SEE GOING OUT TO WORDS 215? 
          >> WE ACTUALLY DID PULL UP STAKES THAT WAS OUT AT 218, JUST BECAUSE, AS LONG AS I WORKED AT THE UTILITY WE HAD NO INQUIRY. 
          AND THE FIELD AT A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AS WELL AS THE KEYSTONE. THERE WAS A STRATEGIC DECISION, DID YOU WANT TO RESERVE WATER RIGHTS WHERE YOU MAY NOT HAVE THEM. WE DID GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. 
          THE ONE MAP THAT YOU SAW, IT DID HAVE THE MAP THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE WATER MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. 
          SO THAT CENTER GRAPHIC IS THE EXHIBIT THAT IS PART OF THE AGREEMENT. IN REGARDS TO STATE ROAD 21 THERE HAS BEEN DISCUSSIONS WITH RESTRICTIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN 21 AND STATE ROAD 16. AS FAR AS IN KEYSTONE, LYNN GAVE ME INFORMATION ON DEVELOPMENT AND WE INCORPORATED THAT INTO THE AGREEMENT. ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO POINT OUT, AFTER IT WAS SIGNED AND AUTHORIZED WE DID HAVE SOME DEVELOPERS TALK TO US ABOUT DEVELOPMENT ALONG STATE ROAD 17. 
          I SAID WE WOULD WORK WITH YOU ALL BUT THERE WOULD BE A NEED FOR US TO GET PROPER AUTHORIZATION FOR THOSE DEVELOPMENTS WHICH WAS PART OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT. 
          >> THANK YOU. >> JUST TO CLARIFY, THE PROJECT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT I THINK WAS A GRANT FROM THE STATE TO REDUCE NITRATES AND PHOSPHATES INTO DUCKS LAKE AND IT ELIMINATED SEPTIC TANKS THROUGH CENTRALIZED TREATMENT AS WELL AS 
          A MANY TREATMENT PLANT. >> THERE WERE THREE ELEMENTS TO THAT EFFORT, I AM NOT SURE IF IT WAS APPROPRIATIONS OR HOW TO CLASSIFY IT. THE FIRST WAS PHOSPHORUS REMOVAL WHICH WAS AT THE FLEMING ISLAND FACILITY. 
          THAT HAS BEEN TO MY KNOWLEDGE FAIRLY SUCCESSFUL. 
          THE OTHER WAS THE PROJECT I WAS JUST ASKED ABOUT WITH THE 79 LOTS. WE THINK THAT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. THERE WAS AN ELEMENT THAT AT THE SBR WHICH WOULD BE AT EACH HOME CONTROL ET CETERA. 
          WE'VE LOOKED AT THAT AND THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT RISK FACTOR TO THE UTILITY AND WE DECIDED NOT TO PURSUE THAT. 
          IT WOULD REQUIRE MORE OPERATORS AND THERE WERE A NUMBER OF THINGS WE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD CONTROL OVER. 
          SO WE ELECTED NOT TO PROCEED DOWN THAT AVENUE. 
          >> DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY SEPTIC TANKS WE HAVE BEEN CLAY COUNTY? 
          >> I THINK IT WAS 300 AND CHANGE. 
          >> IN THE COUNTY ANIMAL. THE STUDY AREA WAS AROUND DOCTORS LAKE. I CAN TELL YOU ORANGE PARK PROBABLY WON'T HAVE ANY SEPTIC TANKS IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS BECAUSE WE ACTIVELY PURSUED IT. WE HAD ORDINANCES THAT REQUIRED A HOOK UP. AND SEPTIC TANKS TO CONTAMINATE 
          [00:50:03]
THE AREA. IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT REDUCING THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN BY MAGIC. WE NEED ORDINANCES IN AN EFFORT TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT. TALKING ABOUT THE SUPPLY CHILD -- SIDE DO YOU READ METERS MANUALLY BY DRIVE-BY OR -- 
          >> WE HAVE A RADIO INVESTED SYSTEM. 
          AND WE DO NOT BOTH FULL-BLOWN SYSTEM. 
          WE HAVE MAINTAINED THE DRIVE-BY SYSTEM AS A FALLBACK PROTOCOL BECAUSE THERE ARE DIFFERENT TIMES ESPECIALLY IN THE OAK LEAF BUT IT IS LARGELY RADIO BASE. AND WE SAMPLED THOSE EVERY HOUR. 
          >> THAT IS THE LATEST AND GREATEST TECHNOLOGY. 
          THE NEXT ONE MAY SEEM A LITTLE TRITE. 
          YOUR LOGO. EVERY TIME I LOOK AT IT IS A LEAKY FAUCET. FIRST IMPRESSIONS. 
          STRATEGIC PLANNING SHOULD LOOK AT THAT. 
          >> I WILL SAY IN OUR PLANNING EFFORTS, THERE WILL LIKELY BE A REBRANDING EFFORT BECAUSE WE WILL REVITALIZE THE WEBPAGE. 
          I THINK IT IS CLOSE TO 30-YEARS-OLD. 
          >> FIRST IMPRESSION, IT'S LEAKING. 
          >> POINT WELL TAKEN. >> COMMISSIONER IF YOU PROVE TO THEM YOU FIX THE LEAK THEY WILL GIVE YOU A REBATE. 
          WE COULD GO BACK TO THIS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, WHATEVER'S USED FOR WATER GOES AGAINST THE TOTAL OVERALL YOU SO WE ARE YOU GIVING THEM THE WATER AND IT TAKES AWAY FROM SOMETHING ELSE. AND I THINK THE NUMBER WAS 1,000 RESIDENTIAL HOMES. CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW THIS IS DERIVED AND HOW YOU HAVE TO STAY WITHIN THAT. 
          >> WHEN WE DO A PERMIT APPLICATION OR RENEWAL WE WILL LOOK AT THE TOTAL WATER DEMAND RATHER IT IS RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL. WE WILL FORECAST AHEAD WHAT WE THINK THE MIX WILL BE IN THE FUTURE. 
          I THINK THERE HAS BEEN CONFUSION ON HOW WE CLASSIFY THE CONNECTION AND THAT IS TRYING TO GET US TO A COMMON BASELINE. 
          IF A CUSTOMER USES 1 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER PER DAY AND A TYPICAL HOME USES 100 GALLONS YOU WOULD TAKE THE 1 MILLION DIVIDED BY 100 TO GET THE EQUIVALENT CONNECTION. 
          BUT IT IS ONLY TO CREATE A COMMON BASELINE UNIT. 
          WE DO ANTICIPATE IT FROM ALL CLASSES. 
          >> THE CONFUSION IS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE STATE I THINK THEY ARE WORKING OUT OF THE SPRING WERE THERE NOT WORKING 
          THROUGH THIS CONSUMPTION USE. >> I THINK THEY WERE STAND ALONE AND I THINK THAT WAS PART OF THE ISSUE. 
          >> ONE OTHER QUESTION, CONSERVATION, ARE YOU CONTEMPLATING SOME KIND OF WAY TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO CONSERVE WATER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WE HAVE SEEN IN LIKE IN LAS VEGAS THEY ARE PAYING PEOPLE TO TAKE OUT GRASS. 
          ARE WE LOOKING AT THAT? >> I WOULD SAY THE WATER CONSERVATION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN PART OF THAT. 
          WHEN YOU COMPARE FROM 2008-2009 IT SITS AT A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE SO THAT IS SUCCESSFUL. WE ARE LOOKING AT OTHER THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, RECLAIMED WATER IS ONE OF THEM. 
          WHEN WATER DEMAND IS HI, WE TRAINED THE TANKS. 
          IT HAPPENS THAT FAST. THERE'S NOT REALLY A BIG ECONOMICS SYMBOL BECAUSE I THINK IT'S 80 CENTS. 
          WE WILL HAVE TO EVALUATE THAT LONG-TERM. 
          WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT THINGS IN THE LAKE AS BARRY AREA. 
          I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN TALK OF HIGHER DENSITY. 
          OPPORTUNITIES FOR LANDSCAPE THAT WOULD REDUCE OR MINIMIZE THE 
          [00:55:03]
DEMAND FOR THOSE PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENTS MOVING FORWARD. 
          >> I REMEMBER GOING TO A CONFERENCE AND THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT A SEPTIC TANK, IS THAT SOMETHING WE DO. 
          >> THAT IS WHAT HE BROUGHT UP. >> ARE WE DOING THAT ANYWHERE 
          ELSE BESIDES ORANGE PARK. >> BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE REGULATIONS THEY ARE NOT ON THE SYSTEM. 
          WHETHER A -- AND INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS USE THAT I DON'T 
          KNOW. >> IF WE WERE TO CONSIDER DOING SOME OF THE BUILDING INITIATIVES AND THE COUNTY WOULD YOU SUGGEST THAT MAY BE PART OF WHAT WE ARE DOING. 
          >> IM DRAWING FROM MEMORY. THERE IS A NUMBER OF PARTS THAT REQUIRE MAINTENANCE. IF YOU ARE PUTTING IT ON AN INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS THEY MAY HAVE VARIOUS TYPES THAT ARE MONITORING OR MOVING THROUGH THE SYSTEM. 
          AND WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT, THEY ARE TYPICAL. 
          THEY GAINED THE BENEFIT OF HAVING IRRIGATION IN THE TANKS. 
          IF YOU PUT IT ON THE HOMEOWNER I THINK IT'S PROBLEMATIC. 
          IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT STAFF TAKING CARE OF IT THAT IS A 
          DIFFERENT DISCUSSION. >> IT MAY SKEW THE ECONOMICS TO 
          GO TO YOUR SYSTEM AS WELL. >> THOSE SYSTEMS ARE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. WE WOULD NECESSARILY AVENUE ACCESS TO CERTAIN PARTS ESPECIALLY THE PANELS THAT MAY BE IN SOMEONE'S HOUSE. AND YET FROM A REGULATORY PERSPECTIVE WE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN LIABLE. 
          IF THERE IS A FAILURE OR AN OVERFLOW THAT WOULD LEAD TO WHY 
          WE SHIED AWAY FROM THE SYSTEMS. >> WE DID THE WE LOOKED AT THIS. 
          HOUSE THE COORDINATION WITH THE COUNTY? 
          >> I THINK IT HAS IMPROVED. I KNOW THEY MEET ON A REGULAR BASIS. WE HAD SOME COORDINATION WE DID. 
          I WANT TO OFFER KUDOS TO HOWARD AND HIS STAFF. 
          THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS ON THE STAFF AND WE DID OUR HOMEWORK. 
          WE FOUND A COURSE OF ACTION THAT WORKED FOR THE COUNTY AND OUR CUSTOMERS SO I THINK THAT HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE. 
          >> WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE SEPTIC TO SEWER, WHAT ARE THE COSTS FOR THE HOMEOWNERS. REGARDLESS OF WHO'S PAYING FOR IT. I KNOW YOU HAVE GRANT MONEY. 
          BUT IF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN PLACE WHAT DOES IT COST TO 
          CONNECT? >> IT DEPENDS HOW CLOSE. 
          IF YOU ARE TALKING RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, YOU'RE TALKING THE CAPACITY FEES SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $4,500. 
          I THINK THE WATER CONNECTION IS 300 AND SOME CHANGE. 
          I THINK IT IS 5-$6,000 THEN THE COST OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          IF IT IS A DEDICATED LINE WHOEVER IS CONNECTING AND USING THE CAPACITY THAT COULD RANGE FROM $1,500 TO SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS DEPENDING ON THE LENGTH. 
          THEN THERE'S METER CHARGES. >> FOR A NEW DEVELOPMENT, I ASSUME THAT IS WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT NONE OF THAT IS IN PLACE SO YOU WOULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT INFRASTRUCTURE 
          YOU HAVE TO PUT IN. >> CORRECT IF YOU'RE TALKING 
          [01:00:03]
THIS IS MADE CLAY. SO THE PIPE SIZING WOULD BE EXCEPTIONALLY CHALLENGING. RIGHT NOW SOUTH OF 218 IS A SUFFICIENT SIZE TO SUPPLY A LOT OF -- I KNOW THIS IS A DISCUSSION WE HAD WITH TRYING TO PROVIDE SERVICE FOR ONE OF THE FACILITIES WE WERE LOOKING AT. LET ALONE, I DON'T KNOW THE SIZE OF THE DEVELOPMENT. BUT THERE WERE SO RESTRICTIONS PREDICTED THAT WASN'T THE REASON WE DID NOT SUPPORTED ONLY BECAUSE OF THE MOBILITY FEE STUDY DID NOT SUPPORT THE GROWTH. I UNDERSTAND THEY WANT TO COME AND BUILD, I JUST WANTED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE FEE 
          STRUCTURE AND THE COST INVOLVED. >> ANYONE ELSE? 
          >> THANK YOU GERMANY, YOU ARE A GREAT PARTNER TO WORK WITH AN 
          [21.  5:00 PM or as soon thereafter as can be heard - Public hearing on the adoption of an ordinance amending Chapter 2, Article IV, Sec. 2-113(a)(5), of the Clay County Code pertaining to Code Enforcement and the Jurisdiction of the Special Magistrate, amending Chapter 6, Article II, Sec. 6-40(a)(10), of the Clay County Code pertaining to Building Regulations and Permits, and amending Chapter 11.5, Article III, Sec. 11.5-41, of the Clay County Code pertaining to the Housing Code and Adoption of a Standard Code]
EYE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO FOR THE COUNTY. 
          >> IT IS 5:00 P.M. LET'S JUMP TO THE TIME CERTAIN SPIRIT COLD ADOPTION, WHO WILL SPEAK ON THAT? 
          >> I WILL START US OFF, IT IS AN AMENDMENT TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF OUR CODE TO GO FROM THE 1985'S DANDER HOUSING CODE ADDITION TO THE 2018 MAINTENANCE CODE. THIS IS TO HELP US WITH COLD ENFORCEMENT AND IT BROADENS WHAT WE CAN ACTUALLY ENFORCE AND THE REQUIREMENTS. I THINK STEVE CAN EXPAND ON IT. 
          IT ALSO INCLUDES COMMERCIAL AND GIVES US A BROADER RANGE IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACTUAL PREMISE THE HOME IS ON. 
          >> ONE THING I WILL STAY -- SAY, WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A WILD BUT WE WERE WAITING ON THE 21 VERSION AND THEN WE JUST GOT TIRED OF WAITING. WE WILL JUST START WITH THE 
          2018. >> AGAIN, WE WERE OUT OF DATE WITH THAT. THIS PARTICULAR VERSION, EVERY THREE YEARS THEY WILL COME OUT WITH UPDATED THINGS. 
          THIS WILL GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO CLEAN UP SOME OF THE DILAPIDATED PROPERTIES. IT GOES INTO THE PREMISES AS WELL. PEST CONTROL AND THE THINGS THAT GO INTO THAT AS WELL. ANY QUESTIONS? 
          >> THAT IS WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW, WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT 
          CHANGES WE WILL GET CALLS ABOUT? >> IT IS A FIRST STEP FOR US TO EXPAND. CODE ENFORCEMENT HAS BEEN LIMITED TO RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. 
          WHEN WE HAVE THESE PLACES, WE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE A CASE AND TAKE A CASE TO THE MAGISTRATE IF WE ARE NOT BRINGING THEM INTO 
          COMPLIANCE. >> I GUESS I I AM ABOUT GOING INSIDE OF THE PREMISES. YOU SAY WE CAN? 
          >> WITHIN REASONABLE BUSINESS HOURS WE STILL HAVE TO MAKE CONTACT. THERE IS STILL DUE PROCESS. 
          WE DON'T JUST GO IN AND KICKED THE DOOR IN AND START LOOKING. 
          WE DO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. 
          REPRESENTATIVE TO PROVIDE NOTICE AND GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO 
          OPEN THE PROPERTY FOR US. >> OAKWOOD CALLS US TO HAVE CONCERNED ABOUT THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE? 
          >> WE HAVE A NUMBER OF THINGS, POLICE COMPLAINTS, BROKEN WINDOWS, ALL OF THOSE ITEMS. IF THE BUILDING IS NOT SECURE, 
          [01:05:05]
ANY OF THOSE THINGS? IT WOULD STILL BE WE CAN OPERATE AS A CITIZEN DRIVEN COMPLAINT, BUT IT WOULD TAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. TO HAVE AN UNSECURED BUILDING OR 
          AN OVERGROWN -- >> 
          SEEK TODAY. >> THAT PARTICULAR JOB AS A PERMANENT ON A. THEY HAVE A NEW CONTRACTOR. 
          SO THE WORK SHOULD BE BEGINNING ON THAT SITE SOON. 
          BUT THEY DO HAVE AN ACTIVE PERMIT TO DO REPAIRS ON THAT. 
          >> WHEN MY HOMEOWNER CALLED IN AND THE NEIGHBOR HAD PASSED AWAY AND NO ONE FOUND THE BODY FOR WEEKS, AND HAD THE PEST CONTROL ISSUE WHERE AS IN THAT SITUATION, IT FELL IN THE NOSE LOAN AND THE BCC AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT THIS WOULD HAVE ENABLED US TO GO INTO THE STRUCTURE BASED ON THE PEST 
          CONTROL COMPLAINT? >> IT WOULD ALLOW US TO MAKE THE COMPLAINT TO THE MAGISTRATE. WE WOULD HAVE THE -- WHOEVER THE NEW OWNERSHIP WOULD GO TO WE COULD MAKE THAT CASE ON THAT, 
          FOR THAT REASON. >> UPDATING FROM 1985 UNTIL THE 21ST CENTURY MAKES SENSE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH AND RESEARCHED IT RATHER THOROUGHLY AND I 
          APPRECIATE THE EFFORT. >> WHO PUBLISHES THIS CODE? 
          >> IT IS THE MODEL CODE ORGANIZATION THAT SUPPORTS 
          BUILDING CODE AS WELL. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS WILL 
          ALLOW US TO DO? >> BEING ABLE TO ADDRESS, SOME OF THE RODENTS. BEING ABLE TO MAINTAINED, MAINTAINING THE PEST CONTROL WILL GIVE US AN OPTION TO DO THAT. THERE ARE PROVISIONS THAT WE CAN LOCALLY AMEND THIS, IF YOU WANT TO GET SPECIFIC ON HOW HIGH THE 
          GRASS CAN BE. >> WE CANNOT DO THAT TODAY. 
          >> THIS IS KIND OF SUBJECTIVE. WE WILL GET SPECIFIC ON WHAT WE 
          EXPECT. >> ANYONE ELSE? DO WE NEED A HEARING ON THIS? WE WILL OPEN PUBLIC HEARING, ANYONE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS? WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING 
          AND BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD. >> I REMOVED FOR APPROVAL. 
          >> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO ADOPT THE NEW SET OF COLD ENFORCEMENT RULES, WHAT DO WE CALL THIS?

UNANIMOUSLY. ALL RIGHT, THAT WAS PAINFUL. 
          NEXT WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS. FIRST UP IS DEAN SOLANO. 
          >> MY NAME IS DEAN SOLANO. MIDDLEBURG, PREVIOUSLY ( INDISCERNIBLE ) I WAS HERE LAST MONTH CONCERNING REZONING AND I AM ADDRESSING SOMETHING THAT IS NOT ON THE AGENDA UNTIL THE 25TH, BUT ADDRESSING IT IN HOPES THAT AT LEAST ONE OF YOU WILL REMEMBER ME AND MY CONCERNS FOR THE AREA OF REZONING BALBOA LANE WHICH IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE CENTER BEING CONSTRUCTED. 
          I AM A U.S. NAVY VETERAN AND CONTRACT EMPLOYEE. 
          LARGE CUSTOM HOME FRAMER. FENCE 1999 I HAVE BEEN A CARPENTRY CONTRACTOR. I HAVE DONE PART-TIME OSHA COMPLIANCE AND TRIED TO STAY INVOLVED IN THE CIVIC ENDEAVORS AS WELL AS A CONTRIBUTOR TO THE OLDEST CHILD WELFARE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. MY CONCERNS, FROM DECEMBER WHEN I WAS HERE, THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING, MOST OF YOU SEEM TO BE FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA. IT'S LARGE I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO KNOW IT ALL BUT MAYBE YOU CAN FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF BEFORE THE HEARING ON THE 25TH. I PROGRAM ON MY HOME, BALBOA LANE WEEKS AFTER 911. I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS OF THE SERGEANT BY THE WAY. POST 911 MY SERVICE WAS MUCH MORE THAN THAT. KNOWING WHAT THE FUTURE COULD BRING TO SOME OF THE CHANGES IN THE PROPERTIES ADJACENT TO ME. 
          I AND NOT AFRAID OF PROGRESS BUT SOME OF THE LOCAL APPROVALS HAVE NOT MADE SENSE TO ME BUT I WON'T AND HER ANY PROGRESS AS I AM ONE MAN. WHAT I HOPE TO IMPRESS ON THE BOARD IS THE REZONING TO COMMERCIAL SOME OF THE PROPERTY THAT WOULD HAVE REMAINED RESIDENTIAL I WOULD HAVE ASSUMED WITH MANY YEARS WHICH IS MY OWN FAULT, ONLY THE PROPERTY FACING COLLEGE HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE REZONING. 
          >> TRY TO SUM IT UP. >> YOU ARE OUT OF TIME. 
          TRIED TO SUM IT UP. >> I GUESS I'LL WERE -- IF YOU WILL MAKE NOTE OF THIS SO YOU ARE FAMILIAR ON THE 25TH WHEN I SPEAK AGAIN I APOLOGIZE FOR RUNNING OVER. 
          >> HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. 
          >> NEXT UP, STAN. DID I DESTROY THAT NAME? 
          [01:15:02]
          >> I AM THE SECRETARY OF THE MOTOR VEHICLE CLUB ASSOCIATION. 
          I HAVE OUR VICE PRESIDENT WITH ME. 
          I JUST WANT SAY HOPEFULLY YOU PASSED OUT THE FLYERS. 
          I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW WE ARE COMING BACK. 
          WERE COMING BACK TO TOWN THE LAST WEEKEND IN MARCH AND WE APPRECIATE ANY SUPPORT WE GET FROM THE COUNTY. 
          MAYBE 3,000 SPECTATORS. AND WE HAVE MOVED IT BACK TO MARCH. HOPEFULLY THE GROUND WILL BE MORE DRIVE. BUT IT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. WE JUST TELL YOU TO BRING YOUR EARPLUGS BECAUSE IT GETS LOUD. WE ARE BACK IN TOWN AND HEADED 
          YOUR WAY. >> IT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC PERFECT HEDGE WE GOT SOME GOOD REVIEWS ON THE LAST ONE. 
          >> WE ARE HOPING, FINGERS CROSSED THAT THE GERMAN TIGER WILL COME TO TAKE OVER THE TANK DESTROYERS. 
          >> THAT'S IT. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WE ARE 
          BACK. >> NEXT UP WE HAVE MARK. 
          >> I WORK FOR AMERICA'S HOMEPLACE WE ARE A CUSTOM HOMEBUILDER. LAST YEAR IN AUGUST WE DISCOVERED WE PAID TO IMPACT FEES THAT WERE EXEMPT. 
          ONE WAS $9,800, DUE TO THE FACT THIS WAS DISCOVERED 60 DAYS PAST THE POLICY IN THE COUNTY THE REFUND WAS DENIED. 
          I AM HERE JUST TO REQUEST IT IS LOOKED INTO TO GET THE REFUND BACK TO THE COMPANY. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT AVENUES. 
          WHEN IT WAS PUT ON MY DESK IN AUGUST, I HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE WITH THE COUNTY. I AM JUST LOOKING FOR SUPPORT TO RETURN THAT FORCE. THAT IS PRETTY MUCH ALL I HAVE. 
          LAST WEEK I E-MAILED YOU. ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE? 
          I THINK WE ARE FINE. >> I THINK WE ARE FINE. 
          >> NEXT UP. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          MY NAME IS RICH KLINSMANN. MIDDLEBURG. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS, GETTING OLDER YOU FIND YOURSELF BEING GOVERNED AND REFUSING TO GO AWAY NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE WANT YOU TO. I DID NOT THINK I WOULD LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE A CHANGE IN ATTITUDE ON THE COMMISSION AND I WANTED TO THANK THE COMMISSIONERS WHO PUT THROUGH THE A MORATORIUM ON THE OUTLANDISH BUILDING GOING ON. 
          TOO THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD, I ATTENDED THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND IT WAS A LOT MORE PEOPLE THAN ME. 
          PEOPLE UPSET ABOUT THE LAND TRYING TO BE DEVELOPED IN LAKE AS VERY. AND DESPITE ALL OF THE POLICE TO THE CONTRARY THE PLANNING COMMISSION REJECTED IT, IGNORE THEM AND THEY WALKED OUT DISAPPOINTED. 
          WHAT I SAW TODAY THAT YOU WERE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT PLANNING COMMISSIONERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE REAPPOINTED I WOULD LIKE YOU TO SAY NO. INSTEAD OF HAVING GUYS WHO CLAIM TO BE BIG PROPERTY RIGHTS GUYS RATHER THAN CARRYING ABOUT WHAT THE COMMUNITY LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IN THE FUTURE, AND PEOPLE WHO WILL BE CONCERNED ABOUT WATER IN THE FUTURE, SINCE WE STARTED, IN ANOTHER MONTH LET'S SEE HOW THE 
          [01:20:07]
MORATORIUM IS GOING AND HOPEFULLY GET IT EXTENDED FOR ANOTHER FIVE YEARS. I HAVE SAID THIS AND I KNOW IM A BROKEN RECORD. FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATION THE BROKEN RECORD IS SOMETHING YOU CAN LOOK UP. 
          RIGHT NOW THE PLANNING COMMITTEE IS AS USELESS AS A PORCUPINE IN A BALLOON FACTORY. THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY. 
          LET'S NOT REAPPOINT ANYONE IMMEDIATELY, THANK YOU. 
          >> JAMES OTTO. >> AS YOU KNOW I SECOND WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THE BUILDING AND PLANNING. 
          IF YOU WATCH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND. 
          I ALSO SECOND THE KICKBALL. AND MORE SO WITH THE K-12 AND GETTING THE FOOTBALL OUT THE ISSUES WITH BRADLEY. 
          YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK ON MARION COUNTY. 
          MR. CURRY IS DOING THAT WITH THE TRASH. 
          I THOUGHT IT WAS JANUARY BUT MAYBE FEBRUARY. 
          I THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SPEAK ON THE GOALS AND PRIORITIES. I AGREE WITH THE KICKBALL BUT NOT THE $14 MILLION BEING PUT SOMEWHERE WHERE SOMEONE HAS TO KEEP WORKING. LET'S JUST GET THE CHILL OFF OF 
          OUR WATERFRONT. >> DON'T TALK ABOUT INDIVIDUALS. 
          >> WHILE I WAS KICKED OUT FOR A SHIRT BUT I WASN'T KICKED OUT OF THE OTHER MEETINGS THAT'S VERY UNFORTUNATE AND THE PEOPLE WANT TO CALL IN INSTEAD OF COMING IN. I APPRECIATED. 
          I HAVE A LITTLE MORE TIME. I BROUGHT THIS BOOK AGAIN THE LEAGUE OF THE NILE. IT IS ABOUT FOOTBALL AND ALL OF THAT. SO, REMEMBER TALKING TO THE SHERIFF SAYING IT WOULD GET WORSE AND I'VE BEEN WATCHING THE NEWS. I HOPE WE CAN LOOK AT THE PLAN AND GIVE HER ANOTHER OPTION, THANK YOU. 
          >> ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          [CONSENT AGENDA]
THE NEXT ITEM IS THE CONSENT AGENDA. 
          >> MOVE FOR APPROVAL. >> A MOTION AND A SECOND, ANY 
          [8.  COVID Update (H. Huffman)]
DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR INDICATED BY SAYING 
          AYE IT CARRIES 5-0. >> NEXT UPDATES AND DISCUSSION, 
          COVID-19 US A SENSE. >> I WAS HOPING WE WOULD NOT SEE 
          YOU AGAIN, BUT HERE WE ARE. >> I WON'T TAKE THAT PERSONALLY. 
          [01:25:02]
          >> HAPPY NEW YEAR, IT SEEMS LIKE 500 BUT I LIKE TO GIVE YOU THE NUMBERS AND TELL YOU WHAT THE HOSPITAL SYSTEMS LOOK LIKE. 
          WE ARE IN A DIFFERENT REALM. THE OMICRON CASES LAST WEEK WERE 24-62. FOUR TO 62 AND AS OF THIS WEEK WE ARE ALREADY CLOSE TO 2,000. 400 OR 500 PER DAY. 
          SUBJECTIVELY LISTENING TO THE INTERVIEWS WITH THE CASES IT IS LIKE HAVING A BAD COLD. MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT IN THE HOSPITAL. WE REACHED OUT TO THE HOSPITAL PARTNERS AND JUST GETTING DATA THIS IS PEAK SEASON. 
          WE ARE NOT SEEING A SURGE WHERE YOU HAD 30 PEOPLE WAITING FOR BEDS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM. WE ARE NOT SEEING THAT. 
          WE ARE NOT SEEING THAT. THIS IS TOWARDS THE END OF A PANDEMIC SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THOSE WORDS HAPPENING. 
          THIS WILL BECOME SIMILAR TO A LOOP WHERE IT MUTATES AND WE WILL HAVE TO TRACK THOSE TWO UPGRADE THEM FOR BOOSTERS. 
          THAT IS WHAT WE WILL TYPICALLY SEE. 
          I WON'T SAY THERE WON'T BE DIFFERENT WAVES OF THE VARIANT BUT THIS IS TYPICAL SEEING THIS GO INTO THAT ENDEMIC PHASE. 
          WE HAVE HAD 708 TRACK TO HALF OF THOSE WERE DURING THE DOCTOR SURGE PERIOD TESTING WE ARE HAVING A GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. JOHN WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT. 
          WE WILL DO TESTING. WE ARE OUT OF RAPID SENT DOING PCR BUT WE CAN TURN IT AROUND AND 24-48 HOURS. 
          THE STRUGGLE WITH THE SUPPLY CHAIN. 
          JESS TO GIVE YOU AN AMOUNT OF THE TESTING THE TESTING BETWEEN THE DELTA AND OMICRON WE WERE SEEING 300-410 SPIRIT WE ARE SEEING BETWEEN 2,003,000 HAPPENING WITH THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS. A LARGE HIGH NUMBER OF TESTS BUT WE ARE GOING THROUGH A SURGE. WITH THE DELTA VARIANT WE SAW AN UPTICK AND WE SAW A DEMAND FOR VACCINATIONS. 
          WE ARE NOT SEEING THAT WITH THIS SURGE PERIOD JOHN CAN TELL YOU, IT'S IMPORTANT TO MESSAGE THIS. I KNOW COMMISSIONER RENNINGER IS GOOD WITH MESSAGING THAT. THIS IS APPROVED THROUGH THE FDA. AND THEN I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE ISOLATION OF QUARANTINE THERE HAS BEEN SOME CHANGES IN THE NUMBERS. ISOLATION ACCORDING TO A CASE DEFINITION OF YOUR TRADE A POSITIVE NO MATTER VACCINATE OR NOT THAT WOULD BE FIVE DAYS OF ISOLATION. 
          AND THAT WOULD BE A WAY FROM OTHER PEOPLE. 
          THAT HAS CHANGED AS WE HAVE LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE VIRUS AND THE INFECTION WAS. THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ARE ONLY INFECTION WAS DURING THAT TIME THERE IS MORE LIKE A BELL SHAPED CURVE BUT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHEN WE TRY TO BALANCE THAT WITH ISOLATION AND QUARANTINE FATIGUE AND GETTING PEOPLE MORE COMPLIANT TO THE ORDER, THE CDC HAS RECOMMENDED THE FIVE DAYS. 
          WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS WE DON'T TYPICALLY USE FULLY VACCINATED WE SAY UP TO DATE WITH THE GUIDELINES. 
          THAT WOULD BE THE BOOSTERS. I THINK WE DID FAIRLY WEL GETTING PEOPLE VACCINATED. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE DONE IS WELL WITH THE BOOSTERS I THINK PEOPLE ARE FATIGUED SO THEY IMPORTANT AT THIS TIMES. WITH THAT I WILL TAKE QUESTIONS AND JOHN WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THE TESTING. 
          >> MY QUESTION IS, I GET THE VACCINATION FATIGUE BUT I THINK SOME OF THE IS BECAUSE OMICRON IS NOT AS SEVERE. 
          KNOW IF THEY ARE NOT AS SICK AND THEY DON'T SEE FRIENDS AND 
          [01:30:04]
FAMILY SICK THEY DON'T SEE THE NEED FOR IT, CAN YOU EXPLAIN? CAN YOU EXPELLING THE LOGIC OR ILL LOGIC? 
          >> I THINK IT HAS BEEN OUT OF SIGHT AND OUT OF MIND. 
          SO, I THINK WE NEED TO MESSAGE AND PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED OR UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDITIONS. THIS IS THROUGH THE VIRUS WILL IMPACT THE MOST. WE NEED TO MESSAGE THAT. 
          THE GOAL IS TO PREVENT SEVERE ILLNESS AND DEATH. 
          WE JUST NEED TO CONTINUE TO MESSAGE THE INFORMATION. 
          >> IS DELTA STILL OUT THERE? >> IS INTERESTING, PEOPLE THINK WE HAE ALL SYMPTOMS -- IT'S A RANDOM SAMPLE. 
          I'VE ONLY HAD THREE KIDS OF OMICRON IN THIS COUNTY BUT IT IS RANDOM SAMPLING AT THE STATE LAB. 
          WE ARE STILL HAVING CASES OF DELTA HAPPEN. 
          WE DON'T GENOTYPING EVERY SAMPLE THAT GOES THROUGH THE LAB. 
          >> A RAPID ACCESS GETTING PHONE CALLS, EVERYONE HAS HAD A RAPID ACCESS WHAT PART HAS EXPIRED, ANY CHANCE OF EXTENDING THE 
          EXPIRATION DATE? >> THE RAPID TEST THE MOST HAVE EXPIRATIONS IN DECEMBER. WE WERE ORIGINALLY ADVISED, AND WE WERE TOLD WE WERE NOT GETTING AN EXTENSION OF THE EXPIRATION DATE. SINCE THEN THEY HAVE COME OUT AND SAID THERE WILL BE A THREE MONTH EXTENSION. 
          THIS WAS THE RESOURCE CENTER AND THE WAREHOUSE IN ORLANDO. 
          AND FOR THOSE TO BE TESTED FOR THE STAFF. 
          THOSE ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE THAT IS A GREAT STRATEGY. 
          FORTUNATELY FOR US WE GOT THE MESSAGE YEAR TO THROW THEM AWAY, WE ARE APPROACHING THINK THAT'S WE NEED TO. 
          WE REACHED OUT TO THE STATE FOR THOSE TODAY TO GET SOME THAT WERE SCHEDULED TO GO TO THE NURSING HOME BECAUSE THE OTHER BUT WE DID NOT WANT THE STOPGAP. THEY JUST DON'T HAVE ANY LEFT. 
          THERE HAVE BEEN SOME COMMUNICATION OR LACK OF COMMUNICATION FROM THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES. 
          THERE HASN'T BEEN AND WE WILL EXTEND THAT ANOTHER 90 DAYS AND THE MESSAGE THOSE WOULD NOT BE EXTENDED AND NOW THEY ARE BEING EXTENDED. I DON'T NO THE PROCESS OF WHAT HAPPENS OR IF IT IS VALID OR NOT TO BE USED. 
          I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THE DROP SPIRIT. 
          >> >> THEY ARE IN DIRE NEED. 
          >> SONNY ROGERS ALL OF THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENTS ARE SURROUNDING US AND THEY DON'T HAVE RAPIDS EITHER. 
          WE ARE FEELING THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES. 
          >> I HAVE A BROTHER THAT HAS COVID-19, OMICRON IN DENVER AND HE HAS PASSES SYMPTOMS BUT HE STILL GETS A POSITIVE TEST AND THEY SAID HE COULD GET THAT FOR THE NEXT 12 WEEKS, IS THAT TRUE? 
          >> IT IS THE GENETIC FRAGMENTS SO YOU MAY HAVE SOME DEAD OR INFECTIOUS DISEASE WE PICKUP. WE DON'T RECOMMEND PEOPLE ONCE POSITIVE KEEP TESTING BECAUSE WE DO HAVE INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL CONTINUE TESTING POSITIVE. I CAN GO BACK, AS WE WERE LEARNING, I HAD SOME PATIENTS THAT WERE TESTING EIGHT WEEKS OUT IN THE HOSPITAL THAT HAD TO SAY THERE BECAUSE WE COULD NOT GET TO NEGATIVE SPIRIT THAT IS WHY WE TELL PEOPLE AND EMPLOYERS 
          [01:35:07]
THAT THEY MANDATE YOU HAVE A NEGATIVE TEST HAVE THEM CALL US AND WE CAN PROVIDE THIS. THIS IS IN JACKSONVILLE WE HAVEN'T HEARD A LOT ABOUT THE BILL APPROVED BY PFIZER WHICH IS THERAPEUTIC WHICH IS SIMILAR TO TAMIFLU AND WHAT THAT AVAILABILITY IS. I WILL TRY TO FIND THE LATEST INFORMATION. WE ARE NOT SEEN A LOT OF INFORMATION OTHER THAN IT WAS APPROVED AND HOW THAT WILL BE DISSEMINATED. IF THEY ARE CONTROLLING THE 
          DISTRIBUTION OF THE. >> IM THE GUY IN THE FRONT OF THE SHOT LINE. WHEN WILL NUMBER FOUR BE 
          AVAILABLE? >> IF I HAD MY MAGIC BALL I SAID I THINK THIS IS HERE IT WILL PROBABLY MUTATE AND BECOME SIMILAR TO THE FLU. YOU WILL CONTINUE CHASING THE VIRUS AND GETTING UPDATED VACCINES. 
          SEEING WHAT THERE'S IS AN BASING OUR STRATEGIES ON THAT. 
          I DO THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN. LOOKING AT WHAT THE SCIENTISTS ARE SAYING, THE GOOD THING WITH OMICRON, IT IS VERY CONTAGIOUS SO YOU CREATE A LOT OF IMMUNITY -- HERD IMMUNITY AND IT AS SOON AS I HEAR ABOUT ANY BOOSTERS I WILL PUT IT OUT TO BOLLA 
          IMMEDIATELY. >> LAST QUESTION WE HAD AN UPDATE FROM CC YOU A ARE WE DOING ANYTHING TO TEST AND SEE 
          WHAT THE GENERAL POPULATION -- >> THE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS WOULD BE ON THE RESEARCH SIDE. UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA OR SOUTH FLORIDA THEY WOULD PARTNER WITH A WASTEWATER TREATMENT FOR THAT. 
          >> OKAY. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU. >> YOU CAN REACH OUT TO ME AT ANY TIME. I WAS IN VIRGINIA WHEN I SPOKE TO A COUPLE OF YOU. I GOT TO SEE A GIRLFRIEND OF MINE. IF YOUR CONSTITUENTS HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS WE WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS AND GET THE LATEST INFORMATION TO SEND THEM ON THEIR WAY. 
          >> JON WARD DIRECTOR OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. 
          I WAS THINKING AS I CAME UP HERE WE HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN. 
          REALLY QUICK ABOUT THE TESTING. WE HAVE CVS, WALGREENS, PUBLIX, ALL OF THE ONES GOING ON HERE IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          WE DO HAVE THE FORK GOVERNMENT SUPPORTED SITES. 
          WE DO HAVE THE BEAR RUN SITE WHICH IS TESTING VACCINES MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY 8:00 A.M.-430. AND WE HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL SITES AND WE ARE SEEING GREAT NUMBERS. THAT IS SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY 8:00 A.M. UNTIL 6:00 P.M. THE FAIRGROUND IS MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY THEY ARE DOING TESTING AND VACCINES. 
          CURRENTLY WE ARE WORKING WITH THE TEAM THERE. 
          SCOTTISH GAMES COMING UP THE END OF FEBRUARY AND THE PREPARATION FOR THE FAIR. WILL HAVE TO RELOCATE THAT SITE AND DO WE RELOCATE IT OR SHUT IT DOWN. 
          WE ARE WORKING ON THOSE NUMBERS. THE OTHER ONE IN MIDDLEBURG, 
          [01:40:03]
THAT IS JUST TESTING AND IT IS SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK. 
          WE ARE SEEING STEADY NUMBERS AT THESE. 
          WE ARE NOT SEEING LONG LINES. I WOULD SAY WE HAVE ALL OF THE TRAFFIC BACKED UP GOING PAST THE FACILITY AND THEY HAVE THE CHICK-FIL-A LINE GOING THROUGH THE LINE. 
          WE ARE DOING REALLY GOOD THERE. WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS ON THAT. DID HAVE A DELAY YESTERDAY WITH SOME OF THE RAPIDS BUT THEY READJUSTED AND FIX THAT. 
          WERE REALLY TRYING TO WATCH NUMBERS AND WORKING WE HAD THERE TO SEE HOW LONG WE NEED TO CONTINUE BECAUSE WE NEED TO PUSH BACK TO OUR RESPECTIVE PRIVATE PARTNERS BUT WE WILL LOOK TO SHUT DOWN BY 20 FEBRUARY AND ASSESS IF WE NEED TO REOPEN. 
          >> FOR THE PEOPLE IN TV LAND WHAT FACTORS SHOULD PROMPT YOU TO GET A TEST AND WHAT SORT OF STUFF WOULD YOU HOLD BACK -- 
          >> I WILL REFER TO THE EXPERT BEHIND ME. 
          >> THE GOVERNOR AND STATE GOVERNOR HAS PUT OUT GUIDANCE. 
          IF YOU ARE FEELING SYMPTOMS YOU SHOULD GET TESTED. 
          WE ENCOURAGE THAT. HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NO SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS, WE ALSO DON'T NEED TO GET RETESTING FOR GOING BACK TO WORK OR TO SEE IF I AM NEGATIVE. 
          THOSE ARE NOT NEGATIVE. I ASKED PEOPLE WHEN I'M TALKING TO THEM ON THE PHONE. I SAY, WHY DO YOU NEED TO GET TESTED, WHAT IS GOING ON. THEY SAY THEY WANT TO SEE AND I EDUCATE THEM ON THE PURPOSE. WE GET A LOT OF EMPLOYERS ARE MAKING ME. YOU MAY CONTINUE TESTING FOR POSITIVE FOUR WEEKS. HAVE YOUR EMPLOYER CALL US AND I WOULD EXPLAIN TO THEM WHY WE DON'T WANT THEM TO BE RETESTED. 
          >> IT IS COVID INVESTIGATION SPIRIT WE WANT INDIVIDUALS TO CALL. IF YOU ARE FEELING SYMPTOMS WE WANT YOU TO GET TESTED. WE WANT YOU TO GET TESTED IF YOU ARE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED. AND IF YOU ARE A HEALTHY INDIVIDUAL AND YOU HAVE THE SNIFFLES THAT MAY NOT BE THE 
          REASON YOU GO GET TESTED. >> WE REALLY NEED TO CONSERVE 
          THE RESOURCE RIGHT NOW. >> ESPECIALLY WITH OMICRON. 
          WITH DELTA I WOULD'VE SAID SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY. 
          BUT WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE EDUCATION METHOD AND THE% RAMIFICATIONS OF THE VIRUS MUTATION. 
          >> I HAVE A COMMENT THE PRIVATE SECTOR DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB. THE LONGEST PORTION I HAD TO WAIT WAS FILLING OUT THE APPLICATION. 
          OTHER THAN THAT YOU WERE IN AND THEN OUT. 
          THEY HAVE BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB. 
          >> THAT IS INTERESTING AND I AM THANKFUL FOR JOHN. 
          AFTER THE SEARCH THEY DID KNOW IF THEY WANTED TO STAY AND I SAID THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING LET'S JUST HANG IN THERE. 
          AND WE ARE THANKFUL FOR THEM BEING HERE FOR THE COMMUNITY. 
          [9.  Legislative Update (C. Latham)]
          >> OKAY. THAT BRINGS US TO NUMBER NINE, 
          THE LEGISLATION UPDATE. >> GOOD EVENING. 
          ON THE COUNTY MANAGER FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND COORDINATOR. 
          A COUPLE OF INTERESTING THINGS. EVERYONE IS AWARE JOE WOULD GIVE THE INITIAL BRIEF BUT TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY IT'S OPEN AND JOE WAS IN TALLAHASSEE. BEFORE HE LEFT, I ASKED HIM TO SEND ME A LIST OF WHAT HE CONSIDERED THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEMS AT THE TIME. THAT IS IN YOUR BACKUP MATERIALS AND IN YOUR BOOK SPIRIT I WON'T TAKE A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT SPECIFIC BILLS. THERE ARE A FEW I WANT TO BRING UP BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF CHANGES THAT WILL TAKE PLACE. 
          FIRST OFF I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU, THIS WAS A TEAM EFFORT. 
          THIS IS THE CARD YOU WILL BE CARRYING AND YOU CAN CERTAINLY FEEL FREE, IF YOU TALK WITH LEGISLATURE THESE ARE THE ITEMS AND WE WILL BE USING THOSE ON CLAY DAY. 
          [01:45:01]
JOE HAS 200 WITH THEM RIGHT NOW. SO I KNOW MR. BOLLA I BOTH HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO TPO AND THEY WERE USEFUL ESPECIALLY FOR THE ELEVATOR MEETING SPIRIT THANK YOU, TERESA. 
          THIS IS WHAT JOE SENT ME. I WILL COME BACK TO A FEW OF THEM IN A MINUTE. THESE ARE THE LAST MEETING SPIRIT THIS WAS THE GROUPING AND THE LAST SLIDE, SO, THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING AND LET'S TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO GO THROUGH THE STAFF ISSUES. OBVIOUSLY AFTER THE INCIDENT WE HAD WITH THE ANIMALS, THERE IS A LOT OF INTEREST IN THE BILLS AND THIS HAS BECOME A STATEWIDE PROBLEM WITH THE ANIMALS. 
          THE EMERGENCY SERVICES AND THE OPERATORS IN THE CORRECTION STAFF. 121 PROHIBIT CERTAIN ACTS AGAINST AND ANIMAL RETAIL SALE PROHIBITS PETS FROM BEING SOLD DOMESTIC DOGS AND CATS AT THE PET STORE. 
          THE NEXT ONE, 309, ONLINE SEWAGE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL SYSTEM AUTHORIZED AS PRIVATE INSPECTIONS. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO DO AWAY WITH THE IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO SAVE A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY. 
          RATHER THAN DO THIS, IF YOU DON'T MIND I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON ALL OF THESE AND I WILL SEND THEM TO TERESA. 
          WE GET NOTIFICATIONS IF THERE IS AN AMENDMENT OR ANYTHING OF INTEREST. WE WILL CERTAINLY KEEP YOU POSTED ON THAT. I WILL KEEP YOU ALL IN THE LOOP. 
          MAYBE I DREAM THIS BUT I SAW SOMETHING ABOUT STORMWATER REPORTING AND THEY WILL BE TREATING STORMWATER. 
          >> >> WE HAD AN INTERNAL MEETING THIS MORNING AND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A 20 YEAR PLAN AND THE RE- ENGAGEMENT PENDING SOME DECISIONS THAT MAY MAKE LIFE EASIER AS WE APPROACH THAT IT WAS CONFIRMED. 
          >> NORMALLY THE WAY THIS STUFF WORKS, CAN YOU FIGURE OUT WHEN THE LAST MEETING IS BEFORE THAT AND BRING TO US ANY RESOLUTIONS I CAN ANTICIPATE ONCE WE HAVE A WATCH LIST, IT WILL BE EVERY TWO 
          [01:50:04]
WEEKS SENDING AN E-MAIL KEEPING EVERYONE UPDATED ON WHAT'S GOING 
          ON THAT IS SPECIFIC. >> I WANT TO OFFER MY KUDOS TO GARRISON. THE TOP THREE THINGS ON THE LIST HE HAS FILED BILLS FOR. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN A LOT. 
          >> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TWO OF THE BILLS THAT WILL BE IMPORTANT SENATE BILL 620 I CALL IT THE BERT HARRIS FOR BUSINESS. 
          THOSE FAMILIAR IF A GOVERNMENT TAKES AN ACTION IT LOOKS AT THE VALUABLE PROPERTY AND THEORETICALLY THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REDUCTION IN VALUE. 
          IT STEMS FROM SOMETHING THAT TOOK PLACE IN SOUTH FLORIDA THIS YEAR. THE GOVERNMENT TRIED TO CLOSE THE BARS DOWN THAT 2:00 P.M. INSTEAD OF 4:00 P.M. 
          BUT THEY RALLIED AND THE BAR OWNERS RALLIED INCIDENT THOSE ARE IMPOSSIBLE HOURS FOR US. THAT HAS LONG-TERM RAMIFICATIONS ALL OVER THE STATE. AND ALSO, AND THE LOCAL ORDINANCES. AND THE MUNICIPALITY OF THE IMPACT STATEMENT. SO THOSE ARE BIG ONES THAT WE WILL BE TAKING ON FROM THE FIRST KO. 
          >> HE IS POWERFUL. I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S THE NEXT SPEAKER BUT HE IS FROM THE FLAGLER, COUNTY AREA. 
          AND THEY MET WITH ABOUT THE TWO BILLS AND THERE WAS DISCUSSION. 
          ORIGINALLY THERE WAS NO HE'S NOT SO SURE. 
          THEY ARE STARTING TO BUILD STRENGTH. 
          THEY WANT TO KEEP THE LINE WITH THE PROCESS. 
          IF YOU HAVE RELATIONSHIPS, BUT NO MEANS IF YOU HOLD STRONGLY ABOUT IT. THERE ARE A FEW NAME SPELLED WRONG. MY NAME IS INCORRECT ON SENATE BILL 1726 WHICH DOESN'T HAVE A SPONSOR YET BUT THAT IS CENTER -- THE CENTER. WE DON'T WANT A DOCUMENT WITH INCORRECT INFORMATION AND IF WE CALL SOMEONE WE WANT TO GET THAT 
          RIGHT ANYWAY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? 
          >> IM CONFUSED. HUDSON IS VERY POWERFUL SO, HE 
          IS ONE TO WATCH. >> ITEM 9.5 WHICH WOULD BE 
          GARBAGE. >> TALKING TRASH AGAIN. 
          >> I HAVE A COUPLE OF COLLEAGUES HERE. 
          I WANT TO INTRODUCE THE TOPIC. I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT GARBAGE AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING. 
          THE COLLINS AVENUE BEEN LESS FREQUENT. 
          WE HAVE SAVED THE COUNTY A LOT OF MONEY AND I WE TALK ABOUT IT IN SPECIFICS ON HOW WE SAVED MONEY NOT AS MUCH AS WE USED TO BUT IT IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. EVERY 16TH WE GET A REPORT FROM WASTE MANAGEMENT. WE NEED THOSE FOR GARBAGE, RECYCLING AND YARD WASTE. THIS WEEK WE ASKED THEM TO CALCULATE A LITTLE EARLY IN THE ART OUT TO 12 NEEDED SO THEY ARE 
          [01:55:01]
MAKING PROGRESS AND I'M SURE MILTON AND GREG WILL BE PREPARED TO ADDRESS THAT AS WELL. I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MILTON. 
          >> CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS SPIRIT THIS IS WHERE WE ARE TODAY. THIS ONGOING COVID-19 EPIDEMIC ALONG WITH THE NATIONAL DRIVER SHORTAGE CONTINUES TO AFFECT THE INDUSTRY. AS WE KNOW WE ARE NOT IMMUNE TO THAT AND WASTE MANAGEMENT BECAME OVERWHELMED WITH THE SHORTAGES AND WERE NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE RESIDENTIAL SERVICES. 
          AFTER EXPLORING MULTIPLE OPTIONS TO IDENTIFY SOLUTIONS IT BECAME EVIDENT THIS PAST SUMMER THAT THE SOLUTION WOULD REQUIRE SOME SUSPENSION OF SERVICES. ON JULY 27 THEY DECIDED TO TEMPORARILY RESUSPENDED RECYCLING TO RESTORE THE YARD/ TRASH SERVICE. AND THE COLLECTION OF GARBAGE REMAINS THE PRIORITY ABOVE ALL SERVICES. 
          THIS WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE NORTH AMERICA'S RECOMMENDATION IT WAS SUSPENDED ON AUGUST 16. AND THE FACILITY AND A SIX SITE AS WITH ANY NEW ENDEAVOR, IT MADE TO THE BIT ABOUT THE TRAJECTORY IS THE USE OF THE SITES CONTINUE TO INCREASE. 
          MONITORING AND CLEANING UP THE DROP-OFF SITES DAILY AND THEY DEVELOP ACTION PLANS THAT HAVE BECOME NECESSARY TO HANDLE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THE MOST RECENT EXAMPLE WOULD BE THE HOLIDAY COLLECTIONS WHERE THE FACILITIES ARE CLOSED AND THEY HAVE A PLAN TO GET US FROM CHRISTMAS EVE AND NEW YEAR'S EVE WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS INCREASED THE CONTAINERS AND DELIVERED EXTRA CONTAINERS THE DRIVERS ALSO CLEANUP MATERIALS THAT ARE STACKED OUTSIDE THIS HAPPENED BEFORE 7:30 A.M. 
          WASTE MANAGEMENT HAVE BEEN A GOOD PARTNER IN THIS SPIRIT THEY'RE NOT GETTING ANY COMPENSATION DURING THIS TIME. 
          ALL OF THEIR EFFORTS IN RESOURCES THEY'RE DOING THAT AND THAT'S GOOD PARTNER FOR US. I BELIEVE THIS WAS THE END OF LAST WEEK. WE JUST ORDERED FOUR ROLLOFF CONTAINERS THAT ARE BEING USED AT THE DROP-OFF SITES THEY WILL BE COUNTY OWNED AND THESE WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY. 
          WE EXPECT THESE WILL COME IN AND THE NEXT 6-8 WEEKS. 
          THIS IS SOMETHING WE WILL USE ON THE TEMPORARY SITES AND SOMETHING WE CAN USE AS WE GO FORWARD WITH OUR COLLECTION. 
          [02:00:11]
THE CONTAINERS ARE BEING PROVIDED BY THE CONTRACTOR. 
          THE COUNTY AND STAFF ARE TAKING THESE STEPS IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP OVERFLOW TO A MINIMUM. THE CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S HOLIDAY PLAN PROVIDED 50 CUBIC YARDS OF CAPACITY AT THE BUSIEST SITES. ANY OVERFLOW AT THE SITES WAS CLEANED UP AND THE SITES WERE BACK TO NORMAL BY NOON. 
          THIS ASSESSMENT RELATIVELY CLEAN WHEN COMPARED TO WHAT WAS COLLECTED CURBSIDE. BY CLEAN, I MEAN, RELATIVELY FREE OF NON- RECYCLABLE MATERIALS OR MATERIALS WE DON'T COLLECT IN OUR PROGRAM. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS FOR BAG CONTAINERS. WHEN RESIDENTS PUT THEIR JARS AND CANS IN A PLASTIC BAG, UNFORTUNATELY THOSE MATERIALS ARE NOT LIKELY TO BE RECYCLED. WHEN THEY GET TO PROCESS OR THEY WILL TRY TO PUT THOSE ON THE LINE. 
          THE REASON FOR THAT, THOSE PLASTICS, AS THEY GO THROUGH THE PROCESS JUST GET WRAPPED UP AND TANGLED THROUGH EVERYTHING. 
          PEOPLE HAVE TO CLIMB IN THEIR WITH UTILITY KNIVES AND CUT PLASTIC OFF OF THE SCREEN. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO BREAK DOWN THE BOXES AND UNPACK YOUR MATERIALS WHEN YOU DUMP THEM IN THE BINS. 
          THERE HAS BEEN ILLEGAL DUMPING OF OTHER MATERIALS BUT IT HAS REALLY BEEN MINIMAL AMOUNT AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT THERE AND GET IT CLEANED UP, EITHER OUR STAFF OR WASTE MANAGEMENT. 
          SO THAT IS REALLY LESS OF AN ISSUE THAN WHAT SOME ANTICIPATED IT WOULD BE AND WE ARE THANKFUL FOR THAT. 
          TO DATE, WE BEGAN IN THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST SO THESE NUMBERS RUN THROUGH DECEMBER. WASTE MANAGEMENT HAD 660 OF THEM. AT A COST OF $150. 
          THEY HAVE TWO OF THOSE FOR CARDBOARD AND THERE ARE TRENTON CONTAINERS USED AND THEY ARE SERVICING THOSE WE HAVE COLLECTED AND THAT NEW SITES WE HAVE COLLECTED 598 TONS OF RECYCLED MATERIALS. THIS IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN WHAT WE WERE COLLECTING CURBSIDE. 
          THIS IS WHERE THEY WILL DROP IT OFF. 
          WEEK ONE WE COLLECTED AFTER DROP-OFF SITES. 
          IN THE LATEST WEEK WE COLLECTED 34 AND A HALF TONS. 
          THE NORMAL RANGE SEEMS TO RUN BETWEEN 24 AND 27 BUT THAT IS CREEPING UP SLOWLY. CHARLIE TALKED ABOUT WE DO HAVE SOME FINANCIAL BENEFITS. I CAN TELL YOU THE RECYCLABLE REVENUES BETWEEN AUGUST AND NOVEMBER, WE DON'T HAVE DECEMBER CHECK, DECEMBER IS LAGGING BECAUSE IT STAYS IN OUR FACILITY THEN GETS SHIPPED OUT. WE CORRECTED $95,000 BETWEEN 
          [02:05:05]
AUGUST AND NOVEMBER FOR RECYCLED MATERIALS. 
          THIS WOULD HAVE COST ALMOST $24,000. 
          AS CHARLIE SAID, WE ARE GETTING A MONTHLY UPDATE. 
          GENERALLY THE 16TH OF THE MONTH. 
          AS OF NOW THEY ARE STILL LOOKING AT ROBBERS. 
          -- DRIVERS THEY DO HAVE SOME DRIVERS AND TRAINING. 
          I THINK SOME WILL COME ON BOARD HOPEFULLY THIS NEXT REPORT WEEK IT WILL BE BETTER. THE MANAGER DID TELL ME THEY HAD A LITTLE IN APPLICATIONS AROUND THE HOLIDAYS. 
          HOPEFULLY PICKS BACK UP. THEY DO CONTINUE TO OFFER A SIGNING BONUS THAT IS HIGHER AND RIGHT DRIVERS WITH CDL LICENSES, THEY ARE OFFERING NEW HIRE READS WITHOUT A CDL, THE OPPORTUNITY WHERE THE COMPANY WILL ASSIST THEM AFTER THEIR 90 DAY PROBATION. THE CDL DRIVER IS MORE VALUABLE THAN SOMEONE WHO CAN ONLY WRITE THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. 
          WE HAVE LISTED IT WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT POSITION FOR THOSE WHO MAY WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THE JOB OR SUBMIT AN APPLICATION. 
          ON THE RECYCLING SITES UNTIL WASTE MANAGEMENT CAN PROVIDE SERVICES. WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT WE WILL SEE IMPROVEMENT WITH THAT I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. 
          >> WE HAVEN'T MOVED OFF OF 27 DRIVERS SINCE AUGUST. 
          SOMETHING ISN'T WORKING. I KNOW Y'ALL SAY IT IS, BUT MY UPTICK, I HAVE SEEN AN UPTICK IN COMPLAINT CALLS. 
          THEY ARE FED UP. WHEN THEY LISTEN TO THE UPDATES IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE BEST FRIENDS EVERYONE IS MAKING MONEY EXCEPT THE CUSTOMERS WHO PAID THEIR PROPERTY TAXES AND NOT GETTING THE SERVICES. I DON'T KNOW, I'M EVEN GETTING I HAVE HAD A REAL RASH OF CONSTITUENT SAYING, CAN YOU TAKE THIS SERVICE OUT OF THE COUNTY. Y'ALL ARE NOT DOING IT WELL WHY NOT GO TO PRIVATE ENTERPRISES. I KNOW YOU SAID THAT WOULD INCREASE THEIR COSTS AND I KNOW YOU'RE DOING YOUR STUDY THAT YOU WILL BRING US IN APRIL BUT THAT DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEMS TODAY. CONSTITUENTS FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE PAID FOR ANY SERVICE THEY ARE NOT GETTING AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND YARD WASTE. A LOT SAY WHY DID WE CHOOSE YARD 
          [02:10:04]
WASTE OVER RECYCLING. IF YOU COULD TALK ABOUT THAT IF WE COULD GO BACK TO RECYCLING TRASH AND WHY WE HAVEN'T MOVED OFF THE NUMBER OF DRIVERS EVEN THOUGH THERE'S BEEN A LIST. 
          >> BOAT DRIVER PER COUNT HAS FLUCTUATED. 
          IT IMPROVED A LITTLE. WOULD REALLY HURT, ONE OF THE DISTRICTS IN JACKSONVILLE GOT A NEW COMPANY, CAME IN AND WAS REALLY HURT BY THE SERVICE BUT THEY RECRUITED DRIVERS BECAUSE IT WAS A SHORTER COMMUTE FOR THEM AS WELL. 
          HIRING PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS IS CHALLENGING IN THE BEST OF TIMES. THOSE WITH CDL LICENSE, YOU WILL DRIVE A DUMP TRUCK OR A CEMENT TRUCK. 
          THERE ARE SO MANY PLACES THAT HAVE LESS STIGMA. 
          I UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGE. IT DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE -- WE WANT THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND PROVIDE THE SERVICES. 
          I DON'T HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL TO KNOW WHEN THIS WILL END. 
          THERE ARE SO MANY FACTORS AFFECTING US LOCALLY BOTH WITH THE PANDEMIC AND THE DRIVER SHORTAGE. 
          THEY WILL LET YOU KNOW SPARS RECRUITING. 
          >> WHETHER IT IS READING THE COMMENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN OUR TEAM SHARED WASTE MANAGEMENT'S JOB ADD. 
          IF YOU'RE NOT ON FACEBOOK, MAYBE YOU CAN GET SOMEONE TO SHARE THE COMMENTS AND READ THEM BUT OUR CONSTITUENTS ARE MAD AND THEY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE PAID FOR SOMETHING. 
          IF THE COUNTY MADE MONEY AND WE ARE NOT GIVING MONEY BACK TO THE CONSTITUENTS THEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM. 
          >> AT THE END OF THE SERVICE YEAR WHEN WE KNOW HOW LONG PEOPLE WENT WITHOUT RECYCLING AND ASSESSMENTS FOR THE REVENUE COLLECTION. WE DID LOWER THE AMOUNT OF THE ASSESSMENT TO RETURN THE COST OF RECYCLING THAT WAS A MATTER OF WEEKS AND NOW WE ARE MAINTAINING WE KNOW WHAT THAT IS FROM OCTOBER 1 WHEN RECYCLING ISN'T, MEANING SOMEONE PAID FOR A FULL-SERVICE PACKAGE IN THE DIDN'T GET IT. 
          >> COMMISSIONER RENNINGER. >> I WAS APPROACHED ON SUNDAY IN MY CHURCH PARKING LOT FROM TWO RESIDENTS WHO WANTED TO TALK ABOUT RECYCLING. IT WAS CONTRARY TO WHAT I EXPECTED. IT WAS COMPLEMENTARY. 
          [02:15:05]
THE PERSONAL ATTENTION WASTE MANAGEMENT PRESENTED IN COLLECTION WITH A FRIENDLY FACE WHO WAS WEARING A CHRISTMAS HAD, TAKING RECYCLED BOWLS OUT OF THE TRUNK AND VERY APPRECIATED. 
          MY MESSAGE TO WITH CEMENT -- WASTE MANAGEMENT THAT MESSAGE WENT A LONG WAY. IF WE COULD DO THAT EVERY DAY, 
          THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> I NEED SOMETHING ELSE TO DO. 
          >> I'M NOT WORKIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON. 
          >> THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY. >> THAT WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL HOLIDAY PLAN. SOMETHING WASTE MANAGEMENT SAID WE HAVE. THAT WAS ONE OF THE NEW HIRES AND THEY SAID WE HAVE A PERSON IN THEIR TRUCK. 
          >> I BELIEVE THEY DID THAT WITH THE PARK ON THE NORTH END AS 
          WELL. >> I WANT TO SAY A PERSONAL TOUCH GOES A LONG WAY. IM NOT CONVINCED, YARD WASTE IS SEASONAL. YOU HAVE MORE YARD WASTE AND SUMMER THEN THE WINTER. I'M NOT SURE WE CAN'T FLIP-FLOP BETWEEN RECYCLABLES AND YARD WASTE. 
          WHAT CONFUSES ME IS WHERE WE TAKE IT OFF. 
          IT HAS EXTRA EQUIPMENT TO SUPPORT THE ACTUAL GARBAGE. 
          I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW WITH THE HOLIDAY SEARCH HOPEFULLY IT WILL SETTLE DOWN BUT THEY ARE USING THIS WON'T BE COLLECTED ON THE SAME DAY AND THAT HAS OCCURRED HERE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON. THAT MAY LEVEL BACK OUT ONCE ALL OF THE EXTRA PACKAGING GETS TO THE CURB. 
          I AM NOT SO SURE AND I DID AND I DID TALK TO WASTE MANAGEMENT ABOUT EVERY OTHER WEEK. REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT BEING ABLE TO DO THAT. BE SAY WHERE THEY HAVE TRIED THAT OPTION IN THE PAST AND THEY HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL. 
          [02:22:46]
          >> HE IS IN DAILY COMMUNICATION WITH THE SITE MANAGER. 
          I DON'T KNOW ALL THE DETAILS. PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC HITTING, WAS THERE WAS A SHORTAGE. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH AND ONE OF THE THE TOO SIX, 60% OF OUR FIRST YEAR HIRES WILL IN THE LEAVING BECAUSE THEY LEARNED IT IS MORE DIFFICULT AND THERE ARE SO MANY DETAILS, THEY LEAVE. SO WE TAKE ONE STEP FORWARD AND THEN WE LOSE TO DRIVERS. HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE AND UPTICK. PEOPLE MAY HAVE FIGURED OUT AND THERE'S RETIREMENT AND WE WILL PAY FOR EMPLOYEES, AND WE ARE 
          [02:25:04]
TRYING TO OFFER EVERYTHING WE CAN I JUST LIKE THEM BETTER WITH 30% OF THE TIME THERE IS A SIGN SAYING INSIDE OPERATIONS HELLO. 
          MANY ARE HAPPY ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NOT MEETING THEIR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS. WE ALL HAVE EYES WIDE OPEN. 
          AND WHEN THE SYMPTOMS COME ON, ANOTHER FIVE YOU CAN HAVE A TESTING SITE. WE STILL HAVE CHALLENGES WITH THAT AFFECTING OUR WORKFORCE. WITH THE DRIVERS AND HELPERS WERE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO ATTRACT PEOPLE TO WORK FOR US IN ORDER TO GET EVERYONE BACK ON TRACK. 
          >> SO MR. HUNTINGTON -- >> WAIT A MINUTE. 
          >> FOLLOW-UP QUESTION. I JUST WONDER IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE THE POLICY IS, THESE FIVE DAYS OF QUARANTINE, YOU CAN GO 
          BACK BEFORE TEN DAYS. >> SHE JUST SAID THAT WILL NOT BE THE CASE. YOU SAID DON'T TEST AGAIN BECAUSE YOU CAN SHOW POSITIVE UP TO 12 WEEKS. 
          >> I DON'T KNOW, I PERSONALLY, LAST MONDAY TESTED POSITIVE AND THEN I WAS NEGATIVE FIVE FRIDAY. I DON'T -- I THINK IT DOES PUT 
          US BEHIND THE 8 BALL. >> VERY MUCH SO. 
          VERY GOOD QUESTION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT ARE IN MANY STATES WHERE WE ARE MORE LENIENT IN TERMS OF HOW WE HANDLE COVID-19 AND CONSEQUENTLY, A MAJOR CORPORATION WALKING THE FINE LINE ON WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO IN ONE STATE AS OPPOSED TO ANOTHER STATE. VERY MINIMAL COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO WHAT WE ARE DOING. THEY ARE NOT HAPPY. 
          BUT THEY HAVE WORKED INTO WHEN THIS WILL IN. 
          I THINK IT IS UP TO THE BOARD TO EXAMINE WHATEVER WE WILL DO, WHATEVER PLAN WE WILL INCORPORATE AND MOVE FORWARD WITH, WE WILL MAKE THAT DECISION I THINK A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS WERE YOU ASKED FOR 120 DAYS AND WERE STILL DOING THE SAME THING. 
          RATHER THAN UNDERSTAND EVERYONE IS IN PAIN, HOW WE CAN SHOW WE G TOWARDS A DIFFERENT AND UNTIL WE ARE FULLY STAFFED AND WE CAN HANDLE SOME OF THESE THINGS. THOSE THINGS ARE THINGS WE NEED TO COME UP WITH THE ANSWER AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS TO LET OUR RESIDENTS KNOW ABOUT IT. GOOD, BAD OR INDIFFERENT IF 
          [02:30:02]
SOMEONE HAS A SOLUTION ON WHAT COMPANY WE CAN GO TO, TO GET THE COMPONENT FIELD, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK 
          ANYONE HAS THAT AT THIS POINT. >> WELL I GOT A CALL FROM A CONSTITUENT WHO SAID WE SHOULD GET A CHANGE FROM YARD WASTE TO PICKING UP RECYCLABLES IN THE OFF-SEASON. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IF IT IS PRACTICAL, DO WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DO IT. MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK TO SEE IF IT IS SOMETHING WE CAN PULL OFF. 
          I ALSO WANT TO ASK, I HAVE TWO PHOTOGRAPHS OF A SITE, IT GOT OVERRUN BY CHRISTMAS AND WE WERE GIVEN A HEADS UP BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH STUFF WAS COMING IN. 
          THEN ONE WEEK LATER,. >> WE HAVE COUNTY STAFF GOING BY AT LEAST ONCE PER DAY. WASTE MANAGEMENT IS THERE EVERY DAY AND SOMETIMES THEY HAVE SUPERVISORS. 
          IT IS HARD AND WHAT WE DO AND WHAT WE HAVE BEEN COMMITTED TO DO, LIZ GET THE PROBLEM CLEANED UP. 
          GENERALLY, FORETHOUGHT MOST PART THE OVERFLOWS HAVE OCCURRED ON SUNDAY WE HAVE STAFF GOING BY THE SITES ON THEIR OFF TIME, WHEN THEY ARE OUT AND ABOUT. GENERALLY THE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED LIKE ON A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY MORNING, OR SUNDAY AFTERNOON THEY GOT FULL. BUT GENERALLY IT IS FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING. NORMALLY BY THE TIME THE STAFF GETS THERE WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS A CLEANED UP. 
          >> THAT'S PROBABLY MY DISTRICT BECAUSE SUNDAY WAS OUR NORMAL RECYCLING. WHAT I'VE SEEN, PEOPLE ARE THAT ROUTINE. WHEN THEY WOULD PUT THEIR RECYCLE BINS AT THE ROAD, THEY WOULD DRIVE INTO TOWN AND DUMP THEIR OPINIONS. BUT I TALKED TO THE SAME CONSTITUENT BECAUSE SHE SAID SHE TALKED TO HIM AND I THINK COMMISSIONER RENNINGER'S.ABOUT PERSONAL TOUCH THE FIRST THING SHE SAID THE GUY WHO WORKS THERE IS A VERY FRIENDLY. 
          I THINK SHE WOULD'VE HAD A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE IF SHE 
          WANTED TO SHARE THE EXPERIENCE. >> I WASN'T GOING TO GET INTO THAT. YOU KNOW THE STUFF WILL BE THERE. IF YOU ARE DOING IT AT 8:00 P.M. 
          WHY DON'T WE HAVE A COUNTY PERSON GO BY AT 5:00 P.M. 
          IT SEEMS TO BE IF YOU SEE THE BID OVERFLOW WE NEED A PLAN TO GET IT EMPTY BEFORE IT BECOMES AN EYESORE FOR THE AREA. 
          >> OR PUT ADDITIONAL UNITS OUT THERE TO HANDLE THAT. 
          >> A MORE FREQUENT PICKUP WOULD ALSO HANDLE IT. 
          >> YOU ONLY HAVE SO MANY CARS YOU JUST HAVE TO RECYCLE THEM 
          FASTER. >> I WISH I COULD SAY WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY OVERFLOW GOING FORWARD BUT IT IS THE NATURE OF VOLUMES, WE PREDICT THE BEST WE CAN AND WE HAVE TO BE REACTIVE. 
          THAT IS WHAT THEY DO EVERY DAY WHEN THEY COME IN. 
          THEY DO A TOUR OF THE SITES AND CHECK THEM OUT TO SEE WHAT SHAPE THEY ARE IN. IT ALSO -- WE ARE VERY IN MANY CASES AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN SERVICED, SO WE KNOW IF THEY HAVE CLEANED IT UP BUT WE KNOW WHAT THE SITE LOOKS LIKE. 
          [02:35:04]
WE GO BACK, IN THE AFTERNOON'S BASED ON CERTAIN SITES. 
          VENTURE TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO PUT UP SIGNS AND WE ARE THERE EVERY DAY TO MAKE SURE THE SIGNS ARE THERE. 
          >> AS SOON AS THE WINDS HIT IT. >> FOR THE SAKE OF DOING WHAT YOU DO SOMEONE NEEDS TO WATCH THE SITES A LITTLE CLOSER. 
          THAT IS THE POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE. 
          >> IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE OUT OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY. 
          LEFT NO IT IS BEING FILLED UP. >> ANYTHING ELSE, I THINK WE 
          BEAT THIS WINTER DEATH. >> I THINK WE VOTED TO SUSPEND THE CURBSIDE RECYCLING SO WE WILL EITHER CONTINUE IT AND THEN MAYBE HAVE THE STAFF TAKE A LOOK THEY DON'T THINK THEY CAN DO THAT, AND REPORT BACK AT LEAST WE CAN SAY WE HAVE ADDRESSED THOSE SITUATIONS ENDED THEY CAN SAY THEY HAVE LOOKED INTO IT AND WE CAN SAY IT IS INTERESTING AND WE LEAVE THE DAY OF SINGLE HOME. 
          BY THE WAY I DO DRIVE BY THE BINS AT THE LIBRARY EVERY DAY. 
          >> WE NEED A REPORT ON WHY ALTERNATE PICKUPS WILL WORK OR NOT WORK A REVIEW OF ALTERNATIVE PICKUP WITH A REPORT TO THE COMMISSION WE HAVE A MOTION AND AID SECOND, FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. 
          PROPOSED, SAME SIDE. IT CARRIES 4-1. 
          >> MOVING RIGHT ALONG. COUNTY MANAGER, WAS THAT YOUR 
          [10.  Progress Report on the Bonded Transportation Program (E. Dendor)]
          INTENT. >> NUMBER TEN. 
          THIS IS A PROGRESS REPORT ON THE BONDED TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM. 
          >> GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. AND DAN DOOR. 
          THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR IS DEAR AND CARLOS CAMPOS AS FAR AS THIS EVENING'S REPORT, FOR PROJECT NUMBER ONE COUNTING CONTINUES WITH THEIR DESIGN PROGRESS MEETINGS THE COUNTY CONTINUES TO NEGOTIATE THE SCOPE OF THE FEES TO DEVELOP A PLAN TO DESIGN THE CONSTRUCTION AND WORK ADDED ON TO THE EXTENSION. 
          LAST MONTH WE HAD A HUGE MILESTONE. 
          IN ORDER TO GET THE PERMIT, WHICH IS A GOOD THING FOR THIS PROJECT. ALSO THE TEAM HELD A WORKSHOP AS WELL AS THE PAVEMENT DESIGN. PROJECTS 25 AND THE SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION THE TEAM CONTINUES WITH THEIR DESIGN AND HELP THEIR BIMONTHLY STATUS MEETING. ON PROJECT TWO COUNTY ROAD IN THE EAST SECTION. AS WELL AS PROJECT NUMBER FIVE THE TEAM PROVIDED REVIEW COMMENTS ON THE DESIGN AND ON THE TEAM IS STARTING A RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION PROCESS. ON PROJECT SIX A THEY HELD A WORKSHOP WHICH WAS SUCCESSFUL. AND NUMBER ONE SEYMOUR GROUP NUMBER ONE WHICH IS PROJECTS THREE AND FOUR COUNTY ROAD 209 THE SOUTH SECTION. GAI CONTINUED WITH THE DESIGN AND ELEVATE BIMONTHLY BIMONTHLY STATUS MEETING. 
          PROJECT NUMBER THREE, WE WERE REVIEWING THE DESIGN AND THE TEAM IS EVALUATE COUNTY ROAD TO A 90 THE INTERSECTION FOR FUTURE USE AS WELL AS BY NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING TO PRESENT AND BRING BACK ROUNDABOUT DESIGN AT THAT INTERSECTION UP REQUEST PERMISSION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. 
          [02:40:01]
AND TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE FUTURE GROWTH IN THAT AREA. 
          AND THE SITES FOR THAT PROJECT HAS WELL. 
          FOR PROJECT FOUR. THE DESIGN AND COMMENTS BACK TO THEM WE BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS FOR VARIOUS PONDS ALONG THE ROUTE AND FINALIZING LOCAL AGREEMENTS FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY USE IN THE. 
          FOR PROJECT SIX SPEEMAC THE COUNTY HAS AN ADDENDUM FOR THE LOAD DESIGN BUILD AND WE WERE ABLE TO REPLY BACK AND SOME WERE REJECTED. AND AS FAR AS MOVING FORWARD INTO NEXT MONTH. I WILL HAVE AN UPDATE. 
          FOR PROJECT NUMBER ONE EXPECTING TO RECEIVE A 60% DESIGN AND START THAT REVIEW. AND THE PROPOSAL FROM THE OWNERS REPRESENTATIVE. WE WERE ABLE TO ADD ADDITIONAL WORK BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT FEES. FOUR COUNTY ROAD 209 THE 60% DESIGN DRAWINGS FROM JACOBS AND FOR THE BOARD'S CONSIDERATION ON PROJECTS THREE AND FOUR THERE IS A POSSIBILITY VARIOUS AGREEMENTS WILL PARTICULATE OUT OF THAT PROCESS AS WELL. 
          WE WILL ALSO BRING BACK THE CONCEPT FOR ROUNDABOUTS AS WE MENTIONED, THE INTERSECTION THERE AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES THE ROUNDABOUT BRING AS WELL AS POSITIVE INPUT FROM THE ROUNDABOUT. ON JANUARY 31 THE BIDS ARE DUE FOR THE FOLKS -- FIRST KO'S CONNECTOR WITH THE BID OPENING ON FEBRUARY 1 WE WILL GIVE YOU PRICING ON THAT PROJECT AND HOW IT FITS IN AND CONTINUING THE DESIGN WORK ON THE PROJECTS. 
          WITH THE, THERE IS A SUMMARY AND A GOOD CHRISTMAS OF WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE 
          BOARD? >> I HAVE A QUESTION. 
          THE LAST TIME YOU GAVE AN UPDATE WE TALKED ABOUT TRAFFIC CONTROL ESPECIALLY WITH THE 218 WIDENING OUT FROM COSMOS AND BEYOND. 
          ARE YOU STILL CONSIDERING THAT WORK? 
          >> TRAFFIC CONTROL? >> HUGE COMPLAINTS ABOUT TRAFFIC IN MIDDLEBURG, ONE OF THEM ACTUALLY CAME FROM MY HUSBAND TODAY WHEN HE SAID I HAVE BEEN SITTING HERE FOR 45 MINUTES AND HAVE NOT MOVED. WORK TO DO. 
          IT IS NOT ABOUT HIM IT IS ABOUT THE CONSTITUENT AND WE HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT PROJECTS, AND WE HAVE THE 218 BRIDGE THAT SEEMS TO BE THE BRIDGE THAT NEVER GETS COMPLETED AND WE WILL MOVE WEST ON 218 AND TERROR THAT ROLLED UP AS WELL. 
          AT THE LAST MEETING WE SAID CAN WE DO THINGS AT NIGHT AND NOT SHUT DOWN BLAINE'S. THE OTHER CONCERN IS EARLY MORNING, 218 IS COMMUTING EAST SO IF THEY DO WORK OVERNIGHT THEY NEED TO BE DONE BEFORE THAT COMMUNING BEGINS BUT CERTAINLY IN THE AFTERNOONS GOING WAS. I THINK COMMISSIONER BURKE SHARED AND TALKED ABOUT TRAFFIC CONGESTION SHUTTING DOWN TO ONE LANE ROADS NOT BEING CONDUCIVE TO PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO MOVE AROUND FOR THEIR WORK AND SCHOOL I. 
          >> YOU MENTIONED COUNTY ROAD 218 AND I WENT TO THE FIRST PROJECT. 
          I DO REMEMBER THE DISCUSSIONS OF THE STATE ROAD. 
          218 AT THE BRIDGE. ACTUALLY, ONE I MENTIONED EARLIER WHEN WE HAVE THE BIMONTHLY MEETINGS, WE HAD A THREE HOUR WORK IN SESSION AND THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS WERE HOVERING OVER A TABLE AND I WILL TAKE A STEP BACK AND LOOK AT COMMISSIONER RENNINGER. 
          AND WE PASS IN THE HALL. WE HAVE MOVED A LOT OF DIRT BUT IT IS ALL THEORETICAL. WE CONTINUE TO WORK HARD BEYOND THE DOORS. WE DON'T HAVE BULLDOZERS BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT IT. PART OF IT IS HOW DO WE MANAGE THE TRAFFIC WHILE BUILDING THE PROJECT. 
          A LOT OF PUSHBACK. WE ALSO SAID YESTERDAY OF THE 
          [02:45:06]
MEETINGS WE HAVE HAD, LET'S TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION CAN WE NOT GO TO A ONE LANE TRAFFIC LIGHT. MANY CONSTITUENTS GOT SUCKED WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT TO THEM. WHEN YOU COME TO A PITCH.IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET TRAFFIC AND WORK LOOKING AT EACH AREA FOR EACH PROJECT IS JUST NOT A CARTE BLANCHE ANSWER AND WE ARE TAKING IT INTO CONSIDERATION. WE WILL TAKE NIGHTLY CONSTRUCTION EFFORTS INTO CONSIDERATION. 
          >> THANK YOU. >> WAS THAT AN ANSWER. 
          HALF WE EVER LOOKED AT THIS AND LOOKED AT THE RAMIFICATIONS. 
          >> YES WE ARE AND PART OF THE CHARGE FROM YESTERDAY'S MEETING, I WANT TO SEE THE PRICING DIFFERENTIATES. 
          IF YOU ARE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD YOU HAVE BACKUP ALARMS AND IS NOT CONDUCIVE WITH BABY SLEEPING IN PEOPLE TRYING TO GO TO WORK THE NEXT DAY. IS NOT CARTE BLANCHE. 
          WE WILL NOT GO TO WORK AT NIGHT EVERY JOB BUT MAYBE CERTAIN AREAS. THAT MIGHT BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO DEPENDING ON HOW THE TRAFFIC IS FLOWING. 
          THERE ARE SEVEN PROJECTS THAT EACH ONE HAS THEIR OWN INTERESTS HE WON'T TELL YOU WERE DOING EVERYTHING AT NIGHT. 
          IT IS NOT ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL BUT WE WILL BRING BACK EACH PROJECT 
          AND HAVE A DEFINED PLAN. >> BABY BY THE NEXT UPDATE, WHEN 
          YOU THINK YOU HAVE THAT DONE. >> WE WON'T HAVE THAT UNTIL AFTER THE 60%. THAT IS WHEN YOU ARE MULLING THE DESIGN AND HOW WILL YOU MANAGE THE TRAFFIC. 
          THE BEST THING IS TO BUILD OFF TO THE SIDE AND COME OVER AND SHIFT. AS YOU LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT AT THE CONFIGURATION THAT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. 
          WE WILL BRING THOSE PLANS TO YOU AS THEY DEVELOP. 
          AND THAT IS THIS YEAR. >> AS FAR AS THE ROUNDABOUT SITUATION AND THE CHANGE IN PRICING, CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE 
          THAT? >> YES, THAT IS WHAT WE ARE BUILDING AND WE WILL BRING IT BACK TO YOU. 
          >> IF THERE IS MONEY LEFT I WANT TO LOOK AT THE NIGHT OPERATION. 
          WE WILL GET FIRED BECAUSE WE ARE STUCK IN TRAFFIC MORE THAN IF WE DO SOMETHING THAT IS NOT IDEAL LONG TERM. 
          I THINK THE DETOUR WILL BE GRAVE IN ABOUT ANOTHER YEAR WHEN ALL OF THIS STUFF KICKS OFF AT THE SAME TIME. 
          WE NEED TO DO THAT AS WELL AS WE CAN. 
          ANYONE ELSE? >> DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHEN 
          THE 218 BRIDGE WILL BE COMPLETE? >> I DO NOT. 
          >> NEVERMIND, THAT IS FINE. >> I DON'T KNOW. 
          >> THE DOT PROJECT STONE IN. >> JUNE.

BROADBAND PROJECT. NUMBER 11. 
          >> GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS. WE PROMISE WE WOULD BRING BACK SOME INFORMATION ON THE BROADBAND RFP. 
          IT WAS OPENED AND SCORED BY STAFF AND REVIEWING THE PROPOSAL STAFF DECISION WAS TO HAVE STAFF PRESENTATIONS DONE. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF INTRICACIES AND THE DIFFERENT DIFFERENT APPROACHES PEOPLE HAVE FOR DOING BROADBAND. 
          WHAT THE APPROACH IS HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY WILL SERVE, COST AND UNDERSTANDING REVENUE MODELS. WE THOUGHT IT WAS BETTER TO SCHEDULE PRESENTATIONS HAVE THEM DONE AND ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS BEFORE WE BROUGHT A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD. 
          THOUGH THEY ARE SCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. 
          [02:50:01]
AT SUCH TIME AFTER IT IS DONE WE WILL BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD WHAT STAFF DISCOVERED AND STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION ON EITHER ONE COMPANY OR WHETHER WE THINK THEY SHOULD DO PRESENTATIONS FOR THE BOARD. AND THE BOARD CAN MAKE A DECISION AND GO WITH THAT OR DO A WORKSHOP OR HOWEVER YOU PROCEED. I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY 
          QUESTIONS. >> ARE WE AWARE OF WHAT INDUSTRY IS DOING IN THE COUNTY. I REPORT AND CLAY COUNTY, IT KIND OF SURPRISED ME. YOU KNOW, I THINK WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE THE COUNTY DO WE KNOW WHAT INDUSTRY IS DOING. 
          >> WE KEEP IN TOUCH WITH AT&T AND COMTEX. 
          MAIN ARTERIES. THEY WANT TO CONNECT KEYSTONE TO ORANGE PARK AND ORANGE PARK TO JACKSONVILLE. 
          THE PROBLEM WITH THE RULE BARRIERS IS NOT THE CONNECTION DOWN THE AREA IT IS THE MODEL I NEED TO CONNECT TO THE FOUR HOUSES THAT ARE A MILE DOWN THE DIRT ROAD AND HOW DO I DO THAT AND MAKE IT COST-EFFECTIVE. IT IS NOT THE PEOPLE DOWN THE MAIN CORE DOORS IT IS THE PEOPLE IN THE RURAL AREAS WHO WILL NEVER GET SERVICE WITHOUT THE SPIRIT I THINK THAT PROBABLY 
          ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION, SORT OF. >> IM NOT SURE THE ADDRESS IS. 
          BUT IT IS PRETTY FAR OUT THERE. >> CLAY COUNTY WITH A MELROSE 
          ADDRESS IS OUT THERE. >> IS IT ALONG A CORE DOOR.

          WITH ALL FIVE OF THEM. >> THANK YOU YES. 
          >> I ASKED YOU ABOUT WATKINS ROAD. 
          WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I WAS SURPRISED THEY DIDN'T HAVE INTERNET. IS IT GOING TO BEWARE CERTAIN PEOPLE GET IT, HOW WILL IT WORK. AS MANY PEOPLE CAN GET IT WITH 
          THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE HAVE. >> OUR PROPOSAL OR RFP WAS TO BUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE. IT WOULD STILL BE UP TO THE CONSUMER TO PROCURE THE SERVICES. 
          THE RFP WAS TO HELP US ENCOURAGE SOMEONE TO COME INTO THE AREA FROM AN INFRASTRUCTURE STANDPOINT. 
          >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. >> I AM INTERESTED IN SEEING WHICH TECHNOLOGY IS THE RIGHT ONE OR WHAT COMBINATION IS THE RIGHT ANSWER. LOOKING AT HOW MANY PEOPLE WE SERVE. THAT IS A CRITICAL PIECE OF 
          THIS. >> ANYONE ELSE?

          AND SHE PUT THIS INTO THE SYSTEM AND THE STICKIES WERE COLOR-CODED BY EACH COMMISSIONER APPEAR AND PUT INTO A PARTICULAR COLUMN OF PLANNING AND ZONING AND MAJOR PROJECTS. 
          WE MET TOGETHER AS A STAFF AND TOOK A LOOK AT THIS. 
          I THINK COMMISSIONER BOLLA SAID HOW DO WE COMBINE ALL OF THE SAME GROUP IT. WE MANAGED TO GROUP IT HERE. 
          THE TOP BOX IS HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE AND RELATED TO QUALITY OF LIKE. THE CENTRAL C IN THE GREEN BOX AS INFRASTRUCTURE AND THAT IS CONTAINED ABOVE AND BELOW. 
          THEN THE RED BOX ENCOMPASSES LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND SUSTAINABILITY IN THE TOPICS. THE ORANGE INDICATED ON THE GRAPHIC SHOWS PRIORITY GROUPINGS WITHIN AREAS THERE ARE SIX MAIN ONES HERE.

          THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK DURING THAT AND IT WAS GREAT. 
          THEN WE HAD TO DO THE DATA. ON THIS SLIDE YOU SEE THE STICKIES THAT MADE UP THE QUALITY OF LIFE. 
          I BROKE THIS DOWN TO WHAT ARE WE DOING TO ACHIEVE AND OUR PRIORITIES. THE BOTTOM LINE, THE MAIN THING IS FOR US TO EXECUTE THE BUDGET PARAGRAPH WILL COME BACK TO THE BOARD AND GIVE A MIDYEAR REPORT AND HOW WE STAND FOR THE BUDGET, AND WHAT PROJECTS WE ARE COMPLETING.

          BUT LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT, THAT WOULD BE MY PROPOSAL MOVING FORWARD. ON THAT WEEKEND TALK ABOUT REVENUES ON THE 25TH AND TAKING A LOOK AT HOW WE CAN PAY FOR THAT IF IT WOULD BE AN OPTION. 
          THE GOVERNORS ACCESS, TALKING ABOUT THAT INTERNALLY AND PARKS TO BE RELEASED. AND MOVING FORWARD, DOING WHAT WE CAN TO BETTER USE THE REVENUES.

          ON THIS SLIDE, THIS WORKSHOP WAS SCHEDULED TO JUST TALK AND DISCUSS REVENUE AND PERPETRATION FOR THE UPCOMING BUDGET. 
          WE TALKED ABOUT IMPACT FEES AND OF COURSE THE CRA. 
          ONE THING I ADDED WAS ANIMAL SERVICES. 
          WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS, WE WILL FREE YOU TO THIS WORKSHOP AND AHEAD OF THE ANIMAL SHELTER. AS WE LOOK AT THIS THIS IS LIKE 
          A ROADMAP. >> AS WE COMPLETE THIS. 
          AND HAVING A WORKSHOP IN THE MORNING. 
          THIS WILL START AT 9:00 A.M. AND END AT 1:00 P.M. AND COVER BUDGET REVENUE AND ANIMAL SERVICE. 
          IN FEBRUARY A PROJECT SCHEDULED WITHIN THE BUDGET BOOK. 
          THIS WILL TALK ABOUT THE PROJECT. 
          IT 50S AS ON THE LOWER HALF PORTION. 
          WE ADDED IT IN LESSONS LEARNED. WHAT IT HAS HAD ON US AS A COUNTY AS A WHOLE AND THE BUDGET. 
          WE WILL TALK ABOUT PRIORITIES EIGHT MONTHS LATER. 
          AND IF HE PLEASES THE BOARD, AND.COM CARD IS A SUCCESS WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THAT. THIS WILL GO INTO THE FIVE OF 
          [03:10:02]
HEARINGS FOR PUBLIC APPROVALS FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. 
          IF I COULD DO IT SOONER THAN THAT. 
          LATER,. >> WE MAY ALSO WANT TO ADDRESS THE TREE ISSUE. EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON OUT 
          HERE WE OUGHT TO LOOK AT IT. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SEE RESEARCH OF GRANT FUNDS AVAILABLE. AND THE ABILITY TO FUND WHATEVER WE THINK WE WANT TO DO THERE. IT MAY BE WISE TO PUT THIS THROUGH THE GRANT DEPARTMENT. THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES EVERYDAY THAT COME OUT. I HAVEN'T READ THROUGH IT TO SEE WHAT IT IS FOR. BUT THEIR MONEY IS BEST USED IN 
          CLAY COUNTY IN MY OPINION. >> ANYONE ELSE? 
          >> YOU ARE RIGHT, I JUST ASKED ONTO THE TEAM, IN TERMS OF SOME PROJECTS AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS. 
          THEY MAY HAVE ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT IT. 
          BUT I WON'T BE ACCUSED OF MISSING OUT ON IT. 
          MY ONLY QUESTION IS, WE TALKED ABOUT BROADBAND. 
          SOONER THAN LATER, I THINK WE WOULD BE BETTER OFF. 
          IT SEEMS LIKE WE WILL BE IN A SITUATION TO DO THAT. 
          I DON'T WANT TO HOLDBACK THINGS IF SOMETHING IS READY THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE IN MARCH WAITING TO MAKE. 
          IF WE TAKE BROADBAND OFF, THAT WORKSHOP IN FEBRUARY LET'S PLUG SOMETHING ELSE IN THERE. IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, I KNOW YOU SAID IT'S A PLACEHOLDER, THEY BECOME STUCK IN A PLACE. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US GET TO THE LOT SIZE AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS. EVERYTHING HAPPENING AS WE ARE SPEAKING. THE LONGER WE GO, THE LONGER HE 
          GETS DEVELOPED. >> GREAT WORK YOU AND THE STAFF PUT IN. I THINK IT HITS THE ESSENCE OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT, SETTING THE GOAL IN MOVING FORWARD I WOULD HATE TO SEE US GET TRAPPED BECAUSE WERE NOT WORKING ON SPECIFIC ISSUES. I KNOW YOU HAD GOOD REASON AND IN SOME CASES THERE WERE STUDIES TO DO THAT. 
          THAT IS MY ONLY COMMENT. >> I WOULD ECHO THAT WITH THE LAND OF DEVELOPMENT CODE. I THINK THAT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. WE HAVE SOME THINGS COMING UP AND DEPENDING WHERE THEY MOVE FORWARD, THAT IS HOW WE GOT CAUGHT TWO YEARS AGO AND WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO CHANGE IT SINCE. I THINK, IT IS TIME WE SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH DIGGING OUR LAND OR CUTTING OUR TREES WERE BUILDING LOTS THAT PEOPLE CAN'T PARK A FULL-SIZE SUV IN THE DRIVEWAY. MAYBE I DON'T UNDERSTAND ENOUGH. 
          AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IS THE POINT OF A WORKSHOP BUT TO WAIT 
          UNTIL ME IS A LONG TIME. >> IF THIS OPENS A SLOT WE WILL 
          [03:17:23]
TAKE A LOOK AT THE THINGS WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHICH WOULD INCLUDE TREES AS THE CHAIRMAN MENTIONED. WE MAY OPEN THAT UP FOR DISCUSSION. IT WILL BE AN OPEN GROUP DISCUSSION AND THEN BRING IT TO BCC QUICKLY FOR A VOTE AND 
          CHANGE. >> I MAY BE OPTIMISTIC BUT HOPEFULLY BROADBAND IS DONE. CAN WE MAKE LAND DEVELOPMENT GO 
          INTO THAT SLOT. >> I WILL TAKE A LOOK AND TALK TO THE STREETS ABOUT WHAT WE WILL TALK ABOUT. 
          >> WE KNOW WE WON'T CHANGE IT AT ONCE, BUT CAN WE BEGIN. 
          >> OFF THE CLASS TAKING A CHAPTER TO LOOK AT AND SOME TWO OUTS THAT WILL BE DONE SOONER THAN LATER. 
          THERE'S A REASON WE THE STAFF, I SUGGEST WE LOOK TO CONSULTANTS TO DO SOME STUDIES FASTER, THAT COSTS MONEY. 
          I WANTED TO GET THIS DONE RIGHT AWAY, BUT THEN I REALIZED COUNTY MANAGER HAS A LOT OF STUDIES WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE COUNTY MANAGER TO UNDERSTAND AND IT WAS UP TO US TO DETERMINE WHAT'S WE SHOULD WORK ON. AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T CHANGE THE FOCUS IF WE FEEL THE BUILDING REQUIREMENTS ARE IMPORTANT, WHY DON'T WE MOVE THAT UP OR SUGGEST HE TRIES TO. 
          [03:20:02]
INSTEAD OF BEING BRIEFED ON WHAT IS IN THERE I WOULD PREFER TO SEE SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT WE CAN DO AS OPPOSED -- SO WE CAN FIX THAT. TELLING US WHAT IS THERE WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING. WHAT CHANGES THINGS, AS THE STAFF SUGGESTIONS OF THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD DO TO FIX THE BACKGROUND PROBLEM WHICH WE WILL LET YOU LOOK AT LATER. 
          WE ALL HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF THE STUFF THAT IS IMPORTANT TO US TO ADDRESS. ALL OF THE ROADWAYS AND THE SIZES OF THINGS. SO, WITH THAT IN MIND, I WILL HAVE THE STAFF FORMULATE A SERIES OF THINGS WE CAN SUGGEST. 
          SOME OF THEM WILL BE NO-BRAINERS AND SOME WILL TAKE MORE TIME. 
          OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU THINK WILL WORK, AND WE WILL FLUSH THROUGH IT QUICKLY OR QUICKER. 
          AND AS FAR AS DOING STUDIES, I LIKE TO SEE HOW WE CAN DO THAT. 
          ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT? I THINK WE HAVE GOTTEN A CLEAR DIRECTION ON WHERE WE WANT TO GO. 
          WE ARE ON TOP OF THIS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. 
          >> IF YOU DON'T MIND, THINKING THAT STAFF AND THE TIME TO GET TO THIS WILL BE HARD WORK OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS TO GET US TO THIS POINT ON MAJOR COMPLETIONS WITH REGARDS TO THIS ACROSS-THE-BOARD. I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THIS, WE ARE FLEXIBLE. SOMETHING ELSE COULD POP UP THAT WE NEED TO PUT IN THE PLACE OF A WORKSHOP OR AT A WORKSHOP. 
          THIS IS WHERE WE WENT. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE THIS IS A IN YOUR BOXERS AND WITH THAT COMES THE ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED TOGETHER IN 2021. HOW THEY EXPECT TO GET THIS DONE. MOVING ALONG.

NUMBER 14. STATE LIBRARY A. 
          GRANT. KAREN IS COMING UP. 
          >> KAREN WALKER DIRECTOR OF LIBRARY SERVICES. 
          WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST APPROVAL FOR LIBRARIES GRANT AGREEMENT, AND THE PRIMARY REASON WHY I AM HERE IS I NEED IT TO MOVE MY GRANT FORWARD. I WILL GET A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION THIS MONTH. THE OTHER ITEM IS THE CERTIFICATIONS OF HOURS FOR LIBRARY SERVICES AND ACCESS TO MATERIAL WHICH REQUIRE WE HAVE ONE LIBRARY BRANCH OPEN AT LEAST 40 HOURS PER WEEK BUT ALL OF THEM ARE OPEN MORE THAN 40 HOURS PER WEEK AND OF COURSE WE DO PROVIDE FREE MATERIAL. 
          THAT HS FACE SMALL PART OF BOOK -- THAT IS A SMALL PART OF THE 
          POINT. >> WHAT IS THE GRANT FUND, 
          MATERIALS? >> THIS YEAR THE BUDGET MANAGER AND I WILL PUT IT INTO THE CAP FUND FOR MATERIALS BUT IT CAN'T BE SPENT ON PERSONNEL, OPERATING EXPENSES OR ALL OF THE AREAS OF THE BUDGET. BUT IT IS BECAUSE IT COVERS IT STARTS IN 2019 BECAUSE IT IS IN PART FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR OPERATING EXPENSES. SO, FOR EASE OF KEEPING USE THERE ARE SOME AREAS OF THE COLLECTION WHICH I DID MENTION WHEN I SPOKE TO YOU ABOUT THE POLICY THAT I NEED TO, SEVERELY 
          [03:25:06]
WEED AND BRING UP TO DATE LEGAL, MEDICAL, THOSE ARE IMPORTANT AREAS WE HAVE TO BE SURE WE HAVE THE INFORMATION WE WANT PEOPLE TO RELY ON. IN ORDER TO READ THOSE, I NEED TO DECIMATE THE COLLECTIONS AND REPLACE IT WITH MORE ACCURATE 
          AND CURRENT MATERIAL. >> ARGUES THE ELECTRONIC FEES. 
          WHAT WOULD WE DO TO INCREASE THE AVAILABILITY? 
          >> WE ARE DOING THAT. OVER THE LAST -- SINCE COVID, I THINK THAT IS PART OF THE REASON IT HAS INCREASED SEVEN 100%. 
          WE REALLY WERE BEHIND THE TIMES IN TERMS OF DURING OUR. 
          NOW WHEN WE RUN STATISTICS, IT IS THE THIRD MOST POPULAR FRENCH IN THE SYSTEM IF WE COUNT THAT DIGITAL BRANCHES. 
          ANYTHING HORTON THAT I WANT TO FOCUS ON THE COLLECTION THIS YEAR. I ALSO WANT TO PURCHASE MATERIAL, NOT ALL HAVE AGREEMENTS WHERE YOU ARE LEASING THE MATERIAL I WANT TO BUILD THE PERMANENT COLLECTION, PARTICULARLY FOR SCHOOLKIDS. I WANT THE READING LIST MATERIAL AND WE ARE WORKING WITH THE SCHOOLS TO GET THAT INFORMATION TO US SO WE CAN PURCHASE MATERIAL. 
          I THINK THEY WOULD PREFER TO READ THEIR MATERIAL THAT WAY. 
          >> WHAT KIND OF MONEY ARE WE TALKING TO MAKE CLAY COUNTY A 
          STATE-OF-THE-ART LIBRARY? >> I THINK, FRANKLY WE ARE TALKING MORE MONEY WE WILL HAVE WITH THIS GRANT IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET. ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US TO OVER TIME IS EXPAND INTO STREAMING. 
          USE SOME OF THE SERVICES WE DON'T HAVE NOW. 
          THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE MOVIES AND MUSIC THAT WAY AS WELL. 
          >> I THINK I GOT YOUR BOSS EXCITED. 
          >> I KNOW THEY WILL COME FOR ME TOMORROW. 
          >> I WANT TO SEE A PROPOSAL TO HAVE IT STOPPED OVER TO LIFE IN THREE YEARS TO MAKE US THE BEST LIBRARY IN THE FIVE-COUNTY AREA. 
          I DON'T KNOW WE CANNOT DO THE BALL BUT WE CAN STEP UP THE GAME. THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE NEED AND WHAT THEY WANT. GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT. 
          WHAT AN IDEA. >> CHAIRMAN TROY TO DO A QUICK ESTIMATE OF HALF A MILLION DOLLARS. 
          WE WILL COME UP WITH A PLAN AND COME BACK TO THE BOARD TO INCREASE THE STANDARD IN ELECTRONICS. 
          >> OKAY. >> I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO 
          APPROVE. >> SECOND. 
          >> FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING 
          AYE, OPPOSED, IT CARRIES 5-0. >> OKAY, NEW BUSINESS.

ITEM NUMBER 15 REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYER LEAD REDUCTION FOR PBP HOMES INC. 
          >> GOOD AFTERNOON. AS YOU KNOW, AS PART OF COUNTY CODE A PERSPECTIVE BUYER, WHEN THEY HAVE A CONTRACT CAN REQUEST FOR AID LIEN REDUCTION AND THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE HERE TODAY. 
          YOU HAV THE MEMO. ESSENTIALLY THIS IS A CASE AT 408 HANSEN AVENUE IT HAS BEEN ACTIVE SINCE 2018. 
          THE CODE ENFORCEMENT LIEN IS $122,000. 
          CURRENT SAUCE 1920, -- CURRENT COST IS $1,920 ON THE PROSPECIVE BUYER IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          >> I HAVE A QUESTION. MS. STEWART, ON THE APPLICATION IT INDICATES THAT THE APPLICANT HAS APPLIED FOR A LIEN REDUCTION ON ANOTHER PROPERTY BEFORE, BUT ACTUALLY THE PERSON WHO APPLIED FOR THE LEAN PRODUCTION WAS THE PROSPECTIVE PERSPECTIVE BUYER WHICH WAS AN INDIVIDUAL. AM I CORRECT THAT WAS APPLYING 
          FOR THE LOAN? >> THAT IS CORRECT. 
          AND IF I COULD I WAS NOT HERE THAT EVENING. 
          I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT SITUATION. 
          SO WE BOUGHT THAT PROPERTY AS IS,. 
          [03:30:01]
          >> CAN YOU MOVE OVER TOWARDS THE MICROPHONE. 
          >> WE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY AS IS WITH EXISTING CONDITIONS AND COLD VIOLATIONS WE BROUGHT UP TOO THAT WE ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION ONCE THEY WERE BROUGHT UP THE LIENS COULD BE NEGOTIATED, SO WHEN WE WENT TO SELL IN IT TURNED INTO MORE OF A PROCESS THAT WE WERE AWARE AND THAT IS WHAT THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER CAME TO SEE YOU GUYS RATHER THAN US. 
          >> I'M NOT FOLLOWING YOU. WHEN WE LOOKED INTO THE SYSTEM YOU OWNED A NUMBER OF HOMES THAT HAVE CODE VIOLATIONS AGAINST THEM. I'M NOT TRYING TO BEAT YOU UP BUT ARE YOU LEADING ME TOO BELIEVE, BECAUSE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME AND A NUMBER OF THE HOMES ARE IN MY DISTRICT, THE NOLAN ROAD ONE WAS IN MY DISTRICT, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU BY THOSE HOMES, THAT ARE IN DISTRESS, CLEAN THEM UP AND THEN AND YET THE COUNTY IS LEFT HOLDING THE BAG WITH THESE LIENS THAT ARE OF GREAT AMOUNT THAT WE CAN'T CLEAN UP. 
          MISSILE HAS BEEN GOING ON 2017. >> IN MY EYES I DO A SERVICE TO THE COUNTY. GRANTED I AM DOING IT FOR A PROFIT BUT I AM COMING TO DISTRESSED PROPERTIES NO ONE CARES ABOUT AND I AM CLEANING THEM UP TO MAKE A HOME FOR SOMEONE. I GUESS THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO 
          LOOK AT IT. >> I MEAN, LIKE, ON THAT WHEN WE DIDN'T EVEN GET STAFF COSTS REIMBURSED. 
          THE STATE STATUTE ONLY ALLOWS US A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF STAFF COSTS. 
          I'M NOT INCLINED, HE HAD A GREAT STORY, HE IS A MILITARY VETERAN, HE SAVED FOR YEARS TO BAR HIS FIRST HOME. 
          CERTAINLY IT TOUCHED MY HEART, THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN A BUSINESS MAKING MONEY AND I GUESS I WOULD HAVE RATHER YOU COME TO US THAT NIGHT AND NEGOTIATED A LOWER AMOUNT THAN HIM TO COME AND SAY REMOVE IT ALTOGETHER. 
          >> THE CIRCUMSTANCES WITH THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY, WE ALLOWED HIM TO MOVE IN BEFORE HE CLOSED BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE FOR HIS FAMILY TO GO. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND A PROSPECTIVE BUYER CAN GET IN FRONT OF THE BOARD AND THE PROCESSES FASTER THAN THE CURRENT OWNER CAN GET IT DONE. 
          >> OKAY, THANKS. >> THIS PROPERTY IN PARTICULAR IS A MOBILE HOME THAT HAS BEEN NEGLECTED. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS AN ERROR SITUATION WHERE IT WAS LEFT TO SOMEONE. I HAVE PLANS DRAWN UP TO DEMOLITION THE STRUCTURE AND BUILD A NEW HOME. 
          WITH THAT AMOUNT IT IS NOT FINANCIALLY POSSIBLE. 
          >> LET ME ASK A QUESTION, WHAT IS THE PROPERTY WORTH? 
          >> IT IS WORTH LAND VALUE RIGHT NOW. 
          >> WHICH IS? >> $35,000. 
          BUYS IT? >> THE CURRENT OWNER. 
          >> COLONEL WHO INCURRED THE LIENS? 
          >> I DON'T KNOW IF THEY INCURRED THE LIENS OR THE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT PASSED AWAY POTENTIAL WE REDUCE THE FINE TO $45,000 THEY GET NOTHING, YOU GET THE PROPERTY? 
          >> IF YOU REDUCE THE LIENS THEY WILL BACK OUT AND IT WILL SIT AS 
          IS. >> IF WE REDUCE THE LIENS. 
          THEY GET 0, AND THE FIND CONTINUES TO ROLL? 
          >> CORRECT. >> I DON'T KNOW THE SOLUTION TO 
          THIS. >> IS THIS A HOMESTEAD? 
          >> NO, SIR. >> SO WE CAN FORECLOSE. 
          THAT FIXES BACK. -- THAT FIXES THAT. 
          IT OCCURRED TO ME WE REDUCE THE FINE SO THE OLD OWNER DOESN'T MAKE ANYTHING OUT OF THIS AND IF SOMEONE WANTS TO PICK IT UP AND 
          MAKE PROFIT GREAT. >> I WAS JUST GOING TO THINK WE CAN PUT IT ON OUR NEXT LIST FOR FORECLOSURE. 
          AND JUST REMEMBER IF WE DO GET THAT, WE WILL THEN BE RESPONSIBLE TO CLEAN IT UP. DON'T FORGET THAT PART. 
          >> I DO APPRECIATE THE SERVICE YOU PROVIDE, IT IS NOT EVENING HAVING STAFF COSTS IN YOUR. WE DID THIS ALREADY ON NOLAN. 
          >> I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT. THERE IS ROOM FOR ME TOO PAY SOME WHETHER WE COST THE STAFF AND GO FORWARD. 
          IT'S JUST NOT THE AMOUNT THAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW. 
          >> BUT IF THERE IS A 45,000-DOLLAR CHARGE, YOU WOULD BE NEUTRAL ON IT BECAUSE YOU WERE GOING TO PAY THE PERSON 
          ANYWAY. >> CORRECT. 
          >> SO ESSENTIALLY THEY ARE PAYING THE $45,000 FOR YOU TO 
          TAKE IT OVER. >> THEY WON'T SELL IT FOR 
          [03:35:03]
          NOTHING. >> THEY WOULD HAVE NO BENEFIT TO TELLING THE PROPERTY AT THAT POINT. 
          >> SO WHAT WILL IT COST TO SCRAPE IT OFF, $10,000? 
          >> THIS IS JUST A GUESS. WHEN WE DID THE COUPLE OF PROPERTIES A FEW YEARS BACK IF YOU REMEMBER COMMISSIONER, AT THAT POINT AND TIME IT WAS $11,000 TO DEMO THE HOME ON JEFFERSON. THAT WAS JUST THE HOME. 
          IF I HAD TO GUESS I WOULD SAY IN TODAY'S MARKET WHERE EVERYTHING COSTS MORE IT WOULD BE 15000-$20,000 AND THAT IS A PRETTY EDUCATED GUESS. CANCEL IF WE REDUCE THE FINE TO $15,000? I DON'T KNOW, I'M JUST LOOKING 
          FOR A NUMBER THAT MAKES SENSE. >> MR. CHAIR, I THINK THE NUMBER THAT MAKES SENSE HIS STAFF COSTS. 
          WHY WOULD WE WANT TO GET INVOLVED WITH ANY PROPERTY, WHERE HE WILL DO THE WORK AND PUT IT BACK ON THE TAX ROLL AND GET IT CLEANED UP. WE HAVE ENOUGH TO DO WITHOUT BECOMING A HOUSE FLIPPER. LET'S -- IF HE'S WILLING TO DO IT LET'S GET OUR MONEY AND MOVE ON AND HOPEFULLY BUILD A HOUSE WHERE WE CAN COLLECT THREE TIMES AS MUCH FOR THE PROPERTY TAX. 
          >> NOT TO MENTION WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOMES. 
          THIS IS JUST ONE, BUT ANOTHER FAMILY ABLE TO LIVE SOMEWHERE. 
          >> HOW AFFORDABLE IS IT? >> HOW AFFORDABLE IS THE HOME 
          YOUR BUIDING. >> IT'S 1599 SQUARE FEET. 
          >> A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO WE FOUND OUT THAT IS $350,000 IN 
          SOME PEOPLES EYES. >> IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE COMPS IN THE AREA, THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT THROUGH CLAY COUNTY AND ORAGE PARCEL -- ORANGE PARK. 
          IT'S NOT A HUGE PARCEL SO I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE THAT 
          MUCH. >> YOU WILL BE SURPRISE, I DIGRESS. SO, HE COMES TO US FASTER BECAUSE HE IS THE PERSPECTIVE BUYER, CORRECT. 
          >> WITH A CONTRACT, BUYER, SELLER CONTRACT THEY CAN COME TO US, DO THE APPLICATION AND GET TO US FASTER. 
          OUR NORMAL PROCESS IS WHEN THE PROPERTY OWNER COMES IN AND FILLS UP THE APPLICATION HE GOES TO THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE 1ST AND THE MAGISTRATE RECOMMENDS WHAT HER THOUGHT PROCESS IS AND WHAT THE AMOUNT SHOULD BE AND THEN THAT COMES TO YOU. IT IS HONESTLY DESIGNED TO WORK EXACTLY LIKE IT IS WORKING. IF THE OWNERS COMING THROUGH THEY GO THROUGH OUR NORMAL PROCESS BUT THESE GUYS ARE ON A TIGHTER TIMEFRAME BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO SELL THE PROPERTY SO THIS IS A QUICKER WAY FOR THEM TO STAY. 
          >> I GET THAT, AND I SEE THEY ARE ALREADY TWO MONTHS PAST THEIR DESIRED CLOSING. BUT MY QUESTION IS KIND OF MORE OF IS THERE ROOM FOR NEGOTIATIONS. 
          HE HAS A CONTRACT WITH THE OWNER FOR $45,000. 
          WHEAT OR SOME OF US, PROSPECTIVELY, WE DON'T WANT THE OWNER TO WALK A WAY WITH $45,000, IF WE WENT AND HE HAS TO PAY STAFF COSTS ON TOP OF THAT, HE IS IN IT FOR FIFTYISH THOUSAND DOLLARS, IF THAT IS THE CASE, CAN HE GO BACK TO THE SELLER AND SAY, WE NEED TO NEGOTIATE A LOWER PRICE BECAUSE OF THIS AND SEE WHAT THE SELLER IS WILLING TO DO FACING A POTENTIAL FORECLOSURE FROM THE COUNTY ON THE PROPERTY. 
          DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >> YES, I THINK THE ANSWER IS YES, WE HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE. WE DID IT WITH THE GENTLEMAN WHO CAME IN AND WE NEGOTIATED HALF OF THE CHARGES, HE MAY HAVE BEEN A SWIMMING POOL. BECAUSE HE WILL GO BACK TO THE SELLERS AND SAY, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN BUY IT AND YOU HAVE TO LOWER THE AMOUNT. SOMEONE HAS TO LOWER THE AMOUNT. 
          WOULD $5,000 WORK FOR YOU? >> ANYONE ELSE HAVE SOMETHING 
          ELSE? >> OUR SECOND. 
          >> WE HAVE A MOTION. >> CONSIDER IT A MOTION. 
          WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND PERIOD FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE OPPOSE SAME WITHOUT -- SAME

          WE DID NOT. THAT WAS NOT PART OF THEIR FEE. 
          IT IS BELOW 10% OF THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS. 
          >> SAY THAT AGAIN? >> THE FEE FOR THE DESIGN IS NORMALLY 10-12% AND THIS IS BELOW. 
          >> IN ALL FAIRNESS,. >> THEY ARE STARTING FROM 0. 
          THAT IS WHY THEY SAID THEY SHORTEN THE TIMEFRAME. 
          >> I AM ALL ABOUT EXPEDITING, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW THE AMOUNT. 
          >> THERE'S NO EXPEDITED FEE, THEY UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO

          >> I BRING THEM BEFORE YOU THE PROPOSALS WE RECEIVED. 
          WE HAD A LOT OF INTEREST IN THIS. 
          CURRENTLY WE HAD TO FIRMS UNDER CONTRACT FOR CONTINUING SERVICES THEY EXPIRED SO WE PUT OUT THE NEW RFQ. 
          WITH THIS WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMED THE TOP THREE WTI GAIN JONES EDMUNDS. WE HAVE PROJECTS COMING UP AND WE FEEL WE CAN USE THREE FIRMS THIS TIME.

          MECHANISM, HOW DO WE DO THAT. >> WE HAVE A GRADING CRITERIA THAT THE BOARD PREVIOUSLY APPROVED. 
          WE LOOK AT THEIR QUALIFICATIONS, THEIR TIME AND AVAILABILITY AND THERE PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE. THERE IS A LOG MATRIX WE USE. 
          >> AND WHAT IS THE THRESHOLD BEFORE IT COMES TO US? 
          >> ONCE YOU APPROVE THE AGREEMENT, EACH PROJECT WILL BE ISSUED THROUGH A WORK ORDER. THAT HAS NO CAP ON IT, THE

CONCERNED, BECAUSE ONE GAVE LESS THAN HALF OF ALL POINT. 
          BUT THE OTHER TWO THEY GAVE PERFECT SCORES. 
          TO ME, THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THE WORK SO IT SHOULD BE EASY TO FIGURE THAT OUT. 
          IN TERMS OF CURRENT WORKLOAD, I THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING QUITE A BIT FOR US. IS THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TOO MUCH WHAT WE HAVE GIVEN THEM TOO MUCH IN THE PAST. 
          I JUST CLAY COUNTY. THE OVERALL WORKLOAD. 
          THEY SCORED ON THEIR VOLUME OF WORK. 
          THIS IS THE WORKLOAD IN GENERAL. WE HAD A SPLIT THERE. 
          I GUESS VOLUME IS THE SAME THING. 
          THOSE ARE DETERMINED BY OUR FINANCIAL RECORDS. 
          SO THE NUMBERS SHOULD BE CONSISTENT. 
          THAT SHOULD BE YOUR LAST MATRIX. YOUR LAST TIME.

          THE OTHER ONE I HAD A QUESTION ON WAS THE APPROACH AND WORK PLAN. WHAT WORK PLAN WHERE THEY PUTTING FORTH HOW THEY WOULD ENCOURAGE AND INCORPORATE THAT 
          INTO THEIR FACILITY. >> SOME EXAMPLES OF CONTRACTS AND HOW THEY STRUCTURE AND WORK THOSE CONTINUING CONTRACTS. 
          >> IF I'VE LOOKED AT THE SCORING,. 
          >> SOME OF OUR WRITERS ARE HARDER THAN OTHERS. 
          BUT WE WANT THEM TO BE CONSISTENT. 
          >> THIS IS 25 POINTS. HERE WE ARE AT 18 IN YEAR WE HAVE TEN AND YEAR WE HAVE 21. AND ESPECIALLY, IT IS A FIRM THAT WE HAVE WORKED WITH, AND THIS HAS SKEWED WHAT THE RESULTS ARE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE AVERAGE SCORE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOVE AND PROBABLY APPROACHING 90. 
          I WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED BECAUSE, I KNOW THEY HAVE WORKED FOR US BEFORE, AND I'M THINKING, MAYBE THEY HAVE PROJECTS THAT ARE STILL BEING WORKED ON BUT IT WAS A SURPRISE TO ME. 
          >> THE BOARD AS THE OPTION TO GO WITH THE RANKINGS AND YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO HAVE PRESENTATIONS. 
          >> AT THIS POINT I WILL GO WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, TWO OUT OF THREE RATED MUCH HIGHER THAN THE THIRD PERIOD AND THAT IS CONCERNING. 
          ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FIRM HAS DONE LOTS OF WORK FOR US. 
          TWO OUT OF THREE OF THE FOLKS THOUGHT THEY DID. 
          I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE DISCONNECT IS. 
          BUT I WILL GO ALONG WITH YOUR STAFF RANKINGS BUT IN THE FUTURE WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT. AND HAVE WE DONE WORK WITH JONES 
          EDMUNDS BEFORE? >> THROUGH OUR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE HAVE USE THEM. 
          WE DID RECENTLY USE THEM ON A TOWN IN ORANGE PARK PROJECT THAT THEY SELECTED AND THEY ARE UNDER CONTRACT. 
          WE HAD A PROJECT OUTSIDE OF THE TOWN AND IT MADE SENSE TO USE THEIR ENGINEERING FIRM. WE HAVE USED THEM IN THAT 
          SITUATION. >> AND THEY ARE INVOLVED WITH 
          THE BOND PROGRAM. >> THAT IS MY POINT. 
          WE HAVE TO FIRMS WE HAVE NOT WORKED WITH AND THEY GREAT TWO OUT OF THREE MUCH HIGHER THAN A FIRM WE WORK WITH BEFORE. 
          >> AND THEY WILL ONLY DO THOSE PROJECTS BECAUSE THEY ARE 
          [03:50:04]
LIMITED SCOPE FIRM. SO YOU ARE LIMITING MORE THAN 
          YOUR NEGOTIATION. >> KNOWING THAT, I AM QUESTIONING HOW HIGH THEY WERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. 
          IT DOES LIMIT THE WORK WE WILL PASS OFF. 
          >> ONE OF THE THINGS CONCERNING TO ME, AND I DON'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF, I AM CONCERNED THAT YOU RAISE THIS ISSUE AND THIS COMES TO LIGHT. WHAT WE CANNOT DO IS APPEAR WE HAVE DESIGN SERVICES ESPECIALLY GIVEN WHICH AS FOUND OUT THE COUNTY MANAGER CAN SIGN OFF ON IT BUT WITH NO CAP AND NOT THAT I DON'T TRUST YOU THAT WASN'T MY POINT BUT WE CAN'T GIVE THE APPEARANCE WE ARE FAVORING ONE OR TWO ENGINEERING FIRMS OVER THE OTHERS WHEN WE HAD 11 PEOPLE BID ON THIS. 
          AND NOW WE HAVE 11. WHEN WE HEAR THE FIVE MINUTE OR 15 MINUTE I DON'T WANT TO TAKE HER. 
          BUT I THINK IT MAY BE VALUABLE IF WE HAVE A PROCESS GOING FORWARD, IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T TRUST STAFF, WHAT IS THE TOTAL COST OF ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE COUNTY, IN A YEAR. 
          >> IT IS SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS. 
          THAT IS THE NEED FOR THE FIRMS, WHAT RECOURSE DO WE HAVE, CAN WE RE-EXAMINE THIS, IS THIS THE FINAL DEAL? 
          >> CAN STAFF TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS AND DO IT AGAIN? 
          >> LET ME EXPLAIN HOW THE EVALUATION TAKES PLACE. 
          WE HAVE THREE STAFF MEMBERS ON THE COMMITTEE AND THEY GIVE THEIR MATERIAL, DURING THAT PROCESS THEY CAN'T TALK TO EACH OTHER THAT IS PER STATUTE. WHEN WE MEET TO EVALUATE THEM, THAT IS A PUBLIC MEETING. WE ADVERTISE THAT ON THE WEBSITE. THE THREE MEMBERS COME TOGETHER AND WE GO SECTION BY SECTION OF THE SCORING IT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, WE HAVE FIRMS, THEY ARE THERE TO OBSERVE. 
          THE THREE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WILL TALK ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE IN THE SCORE, BUT TYPICALLY THROUGH THOSE DISCUSSIONS THEY WILL MAKE ADJUSTMENTS WITHOUT HIS CONSENT 
          SCORING. >> THEY WILL JUST CHANGE THE 
          OUTCOME. >> THEN YOU HAVE PAST PERFORMANCE IF YOU HAVE ITEMS THAT ARE OF OPINION THAT THEY 
          SCORE LIKE COMPETENCE APPROACH. >> WELL I WILL TAKE A MOTION. 
          >> IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THREE, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. 
          YOU SHOULD GO IN RANKING ORDER. JONES EDMUNDS WAS MOST QUALIFIED , AND WE WOULD GO TO THEM AND NEGOTIATE A WORK ORDER. 
          [03:55:48]
          >> THERE WILL BE DISPARITIES,. >> THIS ATTRACTIVE MY ATTENTION. 
          AS I SAID, I DON'T WANT TO HOLD THIS UP FROM MOVING FORWARD. 
          AND THIS WILL BE LIMITED INTO THE SCOPE OF THEIR PROJECT. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US RE-EXAMINE HOW WE DO TAKE THESE. 
          HERE'S THE PROBLEM, IF WE DECIDE WE HAVE PRESENTATIONS, YOU ARE 
          REALLY DOING. >> 
          >> >> NO, WE HAD TO ISSUE CAN WE GET EMOTIONAL AND A SECOND PAIR CAN I GET IT DISCUSSION. 
          MY MOTION IS TO APPROVE IT WITH THE FIRST THREE -- I WILL ECHO THE COMMENTS. THIS IS NOT A PERFECT PROCESS. 
          I USED TO HAVE A NUMBER YOU WOULD LOOK AT IT, BUT YOU DO THE BEST YOU CAN. I AM SURE THAT IS WHAT THIS REPRESENTS. SOMEONE MADE A CALL, I DON'T DISAGREE, THE ONLY THING I WOULD BRING THE, WE CHOSE TO HAVE PRESENTATIONS FROM THE BIDDERS AND WE CHANGE STAFF RECOMMENDATION. I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WENT WITH IT. AND THAT PROJECT WAS ENGINEERING SERVICES REPRESENT MORE IT MAY BE WORTHWHILE FOR US TO DO MORE 
          [04:00:04]
INVESTIGATION ON THE PROCESS OR SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW. 
          I'M NOT SUGGESTING THERE'S APPLES TO APPLES, I AM JUST SAYING, WE HAVE A PROCESS AND WE DEVIATED FROM THE PROCESS. 
          >> THAT WAS FOR A SPECIFIC JOB WITH SPECIFIC SPECIFICATIONS. 
          THIS IS A GENERAL CONTRACT FOR UNKNOWN SPECIFICATIONS, WHICH NO ONE WILL LOOK AT AGAIN EXCEPT THE COUNTY MANAGER. 
          SO, IT COULD BE A $399,000 DESIGN PROJECT. 
          THAT IS ALL I AM SAYING. >> AT THIS POINT, THE ONLY UNKNOWN TO ME IS DO WE WANT A REVIEW OF THE PROCESS IN THE FUTURE. I DON'T SEE A PATH FORWARD TO THAT. DO YOU THINK THIS COULD BE 
          REVIEWED? >> RICHARD SHERMAN IF I MAY. 
          WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SCORE. WE ARE REALLY DOWN INTO A SPECIFIC GRADE. I CAN TELL YOU THE INDIVIDUAL THAT SCORED LOW THEY HAD THEIR REASONING WHY. 
          I DON'T WANT TO SAY MUCH MORE ON THAT. 
          >> THE SECOND THING I WANT TO POINT OUT, WHEN YOU DO THESE GROUPINGS YOU HAVE A SCATTERGRAM. 
          YOU HAVE THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM. IF YOU LOOK AT IT IN GROUPINGS IT'S VERY EASY. IT'S THE TOP THREE AND THEN 4-7 AND THEN THE BOTTOM HALF AND ANYTHING BELOW 80 YOU WOULD REMOVE. WE ARE NOT WHERE YOU WOULD CRUNCH THE NUMBERS AND GET ANOTHER INDICATOR AND THE CREAM FLOATS TO THE TOP FROM THERE. HERE, IF THE BOARD SO DESIRES YOU COULD SELECT ANYONE ABOVE THE SCORE OF 80 AND ABOVE. 
          YOU WOULD SAY THAT WOULD COVER THE TOP SEVEN. 
          HOW DO YOU PICK. WE KNOW THERE SOMETHING SPECIFIC AND WE WOULD CRUNCH NUMBERS THEN SAY WHAT IS THE LOWEST AMOUNT WHAT ARE WE PREDICTING AND WE WILL GO FROM THERE. 
          MAYBE WE COULD LOOK AT ANYONE WHO SCORED 80 OR ABOVE AND WE COULD NEGOTIATE THE CONTRACT SPIRIT IT SAVES THE BOARD AND THE PROCESS IS PRETTY SPECIFIC AND KAREN HAS PUT THESE PRINTED AREAS. IF THERE ARE OTHER AREAS WE CAN LOOK AT FIDELITY. THERE COULD BE A STATEMENT IF SOMEONE WROTE SOMETHING LOWER THAN A REQUIRED STATEMENT MAY HAVE TO HAPPEN. I DON'T KNOW LEGALLY UP AND STOP IN. BUT THAT WOULD CLEAR UP ANY AMBIGUITY WITH REGARDS TO SCORING. 
          >> THOSE IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.

          APPROVAL AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL DESIGN SERVICES 
          WITH ARCHITECTS DESIGN GROUP. >> GOOD EVENING. 
          CLAY COUNTY 911 COORDINATOR. WE ARE BRINGING TO YOU THIS EVENING, A PROPOSAL CONTRACT FOR THE DESIGN OF THE COMMUNICATION CENTER AND I THINK WE ALL KNOW WE STARTED WITH BUILDING 500 IN FLEMING ISLAND. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED THE FACILITY WOULD NOT MAKE CODE AS AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE. 
          THE TEAMS AND PARTNERS HAVE GOTTEN TOGETHER TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY AND IT WILL EVALUATE THE EEOC AS EITHER OR THE PRIMARY AND TO ALSO EVALUATE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AS EITHER THE% PRIMARY OR BACKUP PIECE. WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE PROPOSED 
          [04:05:03]
DESIGN TEAM TO COME OUT WITH THIS PLAN. 
          WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS. 
          WE THINK WE HAVE A PLAN PRESENTED FOR APPROVAL. 
          I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. 
          >> JUST TO RECONFIRM. >> ACTUALLY PAID DISPATCH. 
          >> CAN YOU DEFINE IT AND NOT USE THE ACRONYM. 
          >> PUBLIC SAFETY ANSWERING POINT. 
          >> THIS IS WHERE WE ANSWER 911. >> IS A WITH TELEPHONE OR CELL 
          PHONE? >> IT DOES NOT MATTER IN THIS DAY AND AGE, WE HAVE VOICEOVER TO THE CALLS AS WELL. 
          >> SPECIFICALLY, I WAS TOLD THE 500 BUILDING DIDN'T QUALIFY. 
          WE REALLY NEED A SPACE TO DETERMINE WHERE WE GO. 
          SO FOR $150,000 THEY WILL TELL US WHETHER THE EEOC CAN BE 
          CONVERTED? >> YES, WE HAVE TO DETERMINE WHICH OF THESE TWO SITES WILL BE OUR ANSWERING FACILITY AND WHICH ONES WILL BE THE BACKUP FACILITY. 
          >> THAT IS ALL WE HAVE ASKED THEM FOR AT THIS STAGE MOSTLY FOR TIME REASONS. WE ARE STILL TRANSFERRING TOO MANY CALLS TO FIRE RESCUE AND IT IS A PROBLEM FROM A SERVICE 
          STANDPOINT. >> THIS BUILDING WAS NOT. 
          >> THE PATH THERE IS DOABLE. YES, MA'AM. 
          >> THERE'S PROBABLY NOT A LOT OF FACILITIES THAT ARE CAPABLE TO BEING HARDENED TO THAT CODE AS WELL. 
          >> WE WOULD HAVE TO START FRESH AND THAT IS WHERE THE COMMISSIONER ASKED ABOUT THE OVERALL DESIGNING PROCESS. 
          I THINK THAT WILL BE IN THE PIPELINE AT SOME STAGE BUT WE 
          HAVE A PROBLEM RIGHT NOW. >> IS THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE REALLY VIABLE WITH THE EXPANSION? 
          >> I WILL DEFER THAT TO THE SHERIFF. 
          >> GOOD EVENING THE SPACE IN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS WORTH TAKING A LOOK AT. IT IS BUILT WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED. IT IS A SECURE LOCATION. 
          THE CONVERSATION WITH THE COUNTY , LET'S CONSIDER THAT SPACE AND LOOK AT BOTH AND THE PLUSES AND MINUSES OF BOTH LOCATIONS AND THE ARCHITECT GIVES US THE PLUS AND MINUS AND WE WILL EVALUATE WHICH PATH WE WILL GO DOWN. 
          WE HAVE THE PRIMARY PIECE, AND WE HANDLE 250,000 CALLS FOR SERVICE THAT COME IN. THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS THERE. 
          >> CHAIR, YOU WILL HAVE A PRIMARY AND A SECONDARY, CORRECT QUICKSAND THAT IS THE BEST PRACTICE TO HAVE ONE OF THE SIZE. YOU COULD JUST GO TO A LOCATION 
          WHERE YOU COULD MOVE. >> THE VISION IS TOO LOCATE, AS MANY EMERGENCY DISPATCHERS THAT WORK FOR THE DIFFERENT AGENCIES, TO REDUCE THE TIME IT TAKES TO REDUCE THE CALLS OR SOMETIMES WE WILL GET A 911 CALL AND THEY WILL TRANSFER IT BACK TO US, AND WE TRIED TO DECREASE THE RESPONSE TIME WHEN SOMEONE CALLS 
          [04:10:01]
911. AND THAT IS PART OF THAT. 
          >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> I MOVE FOR APPROVAL.

          REGARDING CERTAIN PAYMENT PROCESSING. 
          >> GOOD AFTERNOON. TROY MEIKLE. 
          BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS IN AGREEMENT WITH STRIPE INC. THE PREFERRED LINGO FOR SHELTER LOVE WHICH IS OUR ANIMAL SHELTER SOFTWARE. THIS IS THE CREDIT CARD PROCESSING THAT ALLOWS US TO TAKE THE CREDIT CARD ONLINE OR IN THE SYSTEM AND GO STRAIGHT INTO THEIR SOFTWARE WITH NO EXTRA DATA ENTRY. THIS IS SIMILAR TO ANOTHER AGREEMENT YOU HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS AGO WHERE IT INTEGRATES WITH THEIR PARADIGM SOFTWARE. ONE OF THE ISSUES WE HAVE A LOT OF THE COMPANIES ARE BECOMING PREPARATORY AS THE CLERK CAN ATTEST TO. THESE COMPANIES WANT TO USE THEIR CREDIT CARD PROCESSOR BECAUSE IT SAVES THEM MONEY. 
          WE HAVE BEEN USING IT WHERE WE CAN. 
          BUT THESE VENDORS WILL NOT LET OF USE THAT. 
          WE HAVE STREAMLINED THE PROCESS FLOW WE DON'T HAVE TO ENTER THE WRONG INFORMATION. BUT IT DOESN'T GET CAUGHT UNTIL IT GOES OVER THERE SPACE. THAT IS WHAT THIS DOES IT 
          ELIMINATES THE EXTRA STEP. >> I AM OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT WAS PROBABLY MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU WANTED. 
          >> STRIPES, SQUARE, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? 
          >> STRIPE IS JUST ANOTHER COMPANY OUT THERE THAT HAS DECIDED TO BE CREDIT CARD PROCESSING. 
          THAT IS THROUGH SHELTER LOVE AS DECIDED TO PARTNER WITH. 
          THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE CLAUSE THAT. 
          >> AUTOMATIC RENEWAL. >> AND THE JURISDICTION FROM 
          CALIFORNIA. >> THANK YOU. 
          >> BE AUTOMATIC RENEWAL THAT GAVE ME HEARTBURN. 
          WHAT IS THE DEAL AND THAT? >> WE ARE NOT PAIN ANYTHING, IT IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER PROCESSING AGENT. 
          THEY ARE PROVIDING YOU A SERVICE AT NO COST TO THE COUNTY IT IS PASSED ON TO THE CONSUMER. RATHER BRINGING BACK AN AGREEMENT THAT SAYS WOULD YOU LIKE TO CONTINUE USING THIS 
          CREDIT CARD COMPANY. >> WE CAN'T TERMINATE AT WILL. 
          >> IT IS EITHER YOU TAKE THEIR FORM OR ELSE. 
          >> AT THE END OF THE DAY IF YOU WANT TO CANCEL, YOU STOP TAKING 
          CREDIT CARDS, IT IS THAT SIMPLE. >> THAT GAVE ME HEARTBURN. 
          IN A GOVERNMENT SITUATION LIKE THIS, THE NEXT GUY IN HIS SEAT WON'T EVEN KNOW THIS IS IN PLACE UNTIL HE HAS TO SIGN SOMETHING. 
          IF WE DON'T SEE IT ON A RECURRING BASIS IT WILL GO ON 
          FOREVER. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

          >> I THINK I AM THE ONLY ONE LEFT. 
          THEY ALL LEFT. >> I THINK THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF UPDATES. 
          I WILL SAY TO TROY'S POINT SINCE COVID-19 HIT AND EVERYTHING HAS MOVED ONLINE, PAYMENT ONLINE THERE ARE BUSINESSES OUT THERE, BUILDING BUSINESS MODELS TO SELL THE PAYMENT PIECE AND IT IS LUCRATIVE IN CASE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ONE FOR I WISH I HAD 
          TIME. >> WHO NEEDS TO MAKE MONEY. 
          I JUST WANTED TO GIVE ED A SHOUT OUT. 
          WE HAD A GOOD MEETING TODAY, LOOKING AT THE BONDED TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS AND WHERE THEY WERE ON THE PROJECTS 
          [04:15:01]
AND THE CASH FLOW NEEDS. I THINK AMY WOULD AGREE A GREAT MEETING. I WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIM. 
          SO IF WE COULD LET THEM KNOW HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE BEING IN THE LOOP AND GETTING THAT INFORMATION. 
          THE CLERK TO THE BOARD TEAM CONTINUALLY WORKS ON FINDING THAT SWEET SPOT. ONE OF THE THINGS THEY ARE TESTING THAT YOU WILL PROBABLY SEE, AND DEPENDENCE OF THE BACK OF THE MINUTES THAT TELLS THE PUBLIC WHAT ACRONYMS YOU GUYS ARE USING. THERE ARE A LOT OF ACRONYMS USE AND RIGHTFULLY SO. WE DO IT IN MY WORLD. 
          WE THINK IT WILL MAKE IT MORE CLEAR IF THE PUBLIC WANTS TO READ THE MINUTES SO KEEP AND I OUT ON THAT. 
          WE ARE ALWAYS OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS ON ANY IMPROVEMENTS WE CAN MAKE. 
          WE WILL ALSO PUT A DISCLAIMER REMINDING PEOPLE IF YOU WANT A FULL I GUESS LOOK AT OR FULL CONVERSATION THERE IS ALWAYS A VIDEO YOU CAN REFER TO. WERE TRYING TO KEEP IT AS CONCISE AS POSSIBLE. THIRD, WE CONTRACTED WITH A VENDOR, AND THIS IS A SOFTWARE WE WILL USE THAT WILL HOUSE THE RESOLUTION ORDINANCE AND CONTRACTS. 
          THE WHOLE INTENT IS TO ALLOW FOR ONE-STOP SHOP, EASY ACCESS, SEARCHABILITY, IT WILL BE OUTSIDE SOFTWARE LINKED OFF OF THE CLERK'S WEBSITE. THE WHOLE IDEA IS SO IF ANYONE WANTS TO LOOK HISTORICALLY AND AN ORDINANCE OR BULLET CONTRACT INTO SOMETHING EASILY ASSESSABLE AND CAN BE FOUND. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS 13 WILL WORK ON IS TRYING TO LINK RESOLUTIONS TOGETHER. YOU MAY HAVE A REVOLUTION AND IT GETS AMENDED SO YOU MAY HAVE WHERE DO WE START. 
          THEY WILL WORK, THE GOAL IS TO MAKE THAT LINKAGE SO YOU HAVE A HISTORY TRAIL ON THE RESOLUTION AS WELL. 
          THAT IS TO COME. WERE TRYING TO COME UP WITH A METHODOLOGY ON HOW TO INDEX THOSE THINGS WITH LASTLY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GOT THIS IN YOUR INBOX, BUT JUDGE LESTER AND I ARE PARTNERING ON LAUNCHING IN THE COURTHOUSE. 
          >> I KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. >> WE ARE TRYING TO WE CALL THE COURTHOUSE THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE. IT BELONGS TO THE PUBLIC. 
          WE DO A LOT OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH. 
          WE WORKED WITH THE FIRST. WE'RE DOING ONE EVERY QUARTER. 
          WE WILL DO ONE TOMORROW NIGHT% AND I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU COULD STOP BY, JUST TO SEE THE ART AND MEET THE ARTIST BRIEFLY. 
          IT STARTS AT 4:30 P.M. THE PERSON WE CHOSE WAS ORANGE PART IN WHICH MRS. RENNINGER IS VERY ACTIVE IN. 
          HE'S GOING TO SPEAK, WE WILL INVITE YOU GUYS IF YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN, WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO IT QUARTERLY TO CHANGE IT UP. 
          THIS ONE, THE FIRST ONE IS NOTABLE PLACES AND PEOPLE. 
          I JUST WANTED TO REMIND YOU GUYS OF THAT. 
          THAT IS I HAVE. >> MADAME ATTORNEY.

          THEY HAVE BEEN MEETING SINCE THEY WERE APPOINTED THEY MET THIS PAST THURSDAY IN JANUARY. THEY ARE SCHEDULED TO MEET ON FEBRUARY THE THIRD. THEY HAVE RETAINED OUTSIDE COUNSEL. THEY ARE TWO MEMBERS THAT YOU APPOINTED. ONE FROM DISTRICT FIVE. 
          AND MR. RIZZO WHO SUBMITTED RESIGNATION SPIRIT IN THEIR PLACE, ALTERNATES WILL BE MOVING INTO THE SPOT. 
          [04:20:02]
AND FOR DISTRICT FIVE IT WILL BE CHRISTINE. 
          THEY ALSO JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE WORK THEY HAVE BEEN MOVING THROUGH THE ARTICLES OF THE CHARTER. 
          AT THE JANUARY MEETING THEY DISCUSSED THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH DEALING WITH THE COMMISSIONER AND DIFFERENT THINGS OF QUALIFICATIONS. AT THE NEXT MEETING THEY WILL CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION AND MOVED TO THE NEXT SESSION DISCUSSING CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS. 
          I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN QUESTIONS FILTERING THROUGH IT CONNECTION WITH THEIR ACTUAL WORK AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THEY KNOW THEY ACT ON THEIR OWN. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN REQUESTS

THEY MAKE. THE PRIORITY PROJECTS, JUST TO PROVIDE JUST BEFORE THE 25TH, AND THE BBC, YOU HAVE THE LIST WE PROVIDED, OR THE 2021 PROJECTS. 
          ON THE LIST, I WILL BE COMING BACK TO THE BOARD FOR THIS BUT WE HAVE SOME INPUT AND SUGGESTIONS TALKING TO THE STAFF TO REMOVE NUMBER FOUR OFF OF THE PROJECT THAT WILL BE COVERED. 
          THAT WOULD CAUSE ALL OF THOSE TO MOVE UP AND WE WOULD LIKE TO AD% SOME ROADS AS WE LOOK AT THE OVERALL IMPACT, AND THIS WAS STATE ROAD 16. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO GIVE THE BOARD ANY CHANCE TO INPUT, I JUST WANTED TO PRESENT THIS, WE ARE ALSO GETTING FROM THE MUNICIPALITIES THEIR SUBMISSION. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? 
          OR ANY GUIDANCE? >> THE STUDY GROUPS CRACKS. 
          >> I WANTED TO TAKE EACH ONE. THE STUDY GROUP I ALLUDED TO IN THE PRIORITY. WE HAVE A CHANCE TO SUBMIT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STUDIES. NOT MENTION THE GREENWAY TRAIL STUDY WHICH IS ONGOING. A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF LAKE AS MARY, RICHARD IS TACKLING THAT INTERNALLY. 
          HE WAS HERE EARLIER BUT HE HAS TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. 
          WE HAVE A NEW DEPUTY COUNTY ENGINEER, TAYLOR APPA NIKE WHO JOINS US, IS A QUALIFIED ENGINEER AND WILL AUGMENT THE STAFF WELL. HE COMES FROM CALIFORNIA SO DON'T BEAT HIM UP TOO MUCH. HE ESCAPED BECAUSE OF THE COST OF LIVING. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE HIM ON BOARD. 
          BACK TO THE STUDY. WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS INTERNALLY AND OPEN UP THE DIRT ROAD IMPLEMENTATION STUDY AND NUMBER THREE WAS THE STATE ROAD 16, A QUARTER STUDY, IMPORTANT IN THAT PART OF THE COUNTY ESPECIALLY WITH THE EXPRESSWAY. 
          AND THE CITY OF KEYSTONE HEIGHTS WE CAN UPDATE THAT ACCORDINGLY. 
          ANY ADDITIONS TO THAT OR SUGGESTIONS FOR ME? 
          >> THE DIRT ROAD,. >> AGAIN, WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE AN AGENDA ITEM BUT WE WANTED AND OPEN DISCUSSION AND PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY ON HOW WE ARE MOVING FORWARD SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT. PENDING ANY QUESTIONS, THE OTHER PART WAS COVERED EARLIER. THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR THE 
          [04:25:01]
          BOARD. >> ANY QUESTIONS? 
          >> I HAVE A QUESTION. YOU TALKED ABOUT THINGS THEY DID. BUT DIDN'T LAY SAY, SO FOR THE COMMISSIONERS THEY DECIDED NOT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ANY ACTION ON TERMS OR ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATIONS. 
          I THOUGHT THEY ALREADY RULED ON THAT. 
          [LETTERS FOR ACTION]
          >> LETTERS FOR ACTION. WE HAVE NINE PEOPLE WHO ARE UP FOR REAPPOINTMENT. AND A FIFTH WHO HAS AN 
          APPLICATION IN. >> MY THOUGHT, THEY HAVE ALL BEEN ON THE BOARD. DESPITE THE FACT THAT TWO OUT OF THE FOUR OF TIES TO THE BUILDING COMMUNITY. 
          >> THE WAY I LOOK AT IT. I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A WELL-ROUNDED BOARD, THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT HAS TO BE ONE WAY, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE BUILDING EXPERTISE THAT SITS ON THE BOARD. RIGHT NOW I THINK THE PEOPLE NOT IN THE COMMUNITY OUTNUMBER THEM, TO THE ONE. 
          SO, FROM THAT STANDPOINT, THEY HAVE A TRACK RECORD, PETE DAVIS 30 YEARS ON THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          AND THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND HIM. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANY OF 
          THOSE INDIVIDUALS AT THIS POINT. >> WHEN WE VOTED, I DID NOT TUMBLED TO THE IDEA THAT THEY WERE HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THE BUILDING TRADES. I LIKE EACH PERSON, DON'T GET ME WRONG. I'M NOT THROWING ROCKS THEY BEEN DOING A GOOD JOB. IT WOULD JUST SEEM LOPSIDED THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE THEM ON THERE AT THE SAME TIME THAT WAS MY ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT. OTHER THAN THAT THEY WERE DOING THE JOB. AND I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM. 
          >> SO BRIAN, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO BE KNOCKED OUT. 
          >> MY FEELINGS ARE, I FEEL FIGHT WHEN I LISTEN A LOT OF TIMES, THERE ARE SO MANY QUESTIONS THEY HAVE BUT IN THAT REGARD, IT IS OUR JOB TO RESEARCH AND COME UP WITH OUR OWN CONCLUSIONS. 
          FOR THAT, I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH HAVING THEM ON THE BOARD. 
          >> ANYBODY ELSE? >> WOULD IS THE PAST HISTORY, 
          HOW OFTEN DOES SOMEONE COME OFF. >> IT IS A TWO-YEAR ROTATION BUT IN FACT IT IS A COMPLICATED CHILD. 
          YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE ZONING GOOD YOU GET THAT AFTER YOUR ON THERE FOR TWO YEARS. IT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN. 
          IT IS A PART I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT OUT OF ALL OF THE THINGS WE DO. THESE GUYS ARE EXPERTS. 
          WHETHER THEY ARE MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS IS UP TO US. 
          IT IS ONE WHERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE JOB TO DO IT 
          RIGHT. >> WHEN I LOOK AT THEM, ONE HAS BEEN ADDED FOR TWO YEARS AT 134 YEARS, AND ONE IS NEW, AND I AM ONLY LOOKING AT THEIR APPLICATIONS ON HOW LONG THEY HAVE BEEN AT THIS. AND IT SAYS NUMBER OF YEARS ACTIVE. AND THE OTHER ONE IS I GUESS I WOULD FEEL DIFFERENTLY IF WE HAD TWENTY-YEAR MEMBERS BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT IS WHERE WE ARE. 
          >> YOU GET BURNED OUT. AND IT IS ALL VOLUNTEER. 
          YOU HAVE BUILDERS YOU HAVE CITIZENS. 
          [04:30:09]
AND WE TAKE APPLICATIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, CORRECT? 
          >> I WILL TAKE A MOTION. >> HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. 
          IT CARRIES 5-0. NUMBER 23 DISCUSSION OF APPOINTMENTS TO THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          >> THE FIRST THING WE HAVE TO DO, I THINK THE COMMITTEE CAN ONLY HOLD UP TO TEN OF THEM. SOAK THE BOARD DECIDES THEY WANT TO PLACE EVERYONE THAT HAS VOLUNTEERED I THINK WE HAVE TO DO AN EXEMPTION TO ALLOW FOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          >> I WOULD LIKE TO DEFER TO COMMISSIONER. 
          >> I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE A PERCEPTION. 
          IS THAT A MOTION. SO THERE'S A RESOLUTION THAT SPECIFIES COMPOSITION OF THE COMMITTEE SO I CAN BRING THAT BACK NEXT TIME AND MAKE IT DATE BACK BUT DO YOU WANT THAT FOR EVERY COUNSEL OR JUST FOR THE LAKE AT VERY WITH YOU SPECIFICALLY WANT. THAT WOULD BE MY THOUGHT. 
          HAVE YOU HAD MORE OF FIVE. I HAVE TOLD THEM WE WOULD OWE THEIR NAME TERESA HAS THERE NAME AND SO TYPICAL, PEOPLE COME AND GO QUITE FREQUENTLY, AND THEY WERE ALL HAPPY WITH THAT AND I SAID YOU CAN ATTEND THE MEETINGS BUT YOU CAN'T VOTE. 
          IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAD A LARGE NUMBER. 
          I THINK WE LOST ONE AND PUT ONE OF THE PEOPLE ON. 
          SO I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS. 
          >> PLUS I WILL BRING IT BACK, DO WE NEED TO APPROVE THE PEOPLE

          >> I REMOVED FOR APPROVAL TO APPROVE THE 11 AND COUNTING 
          RESOLUTION DATED BACK TO TODAY. >> IS THERE ANY REASON WHY WE APPOINTMENT 11 WHEN THERE ARE ONLY TEN REQUIRED. 
          >> I DON'T KNOW. >> THEY ARE CHEST ANXIOUS, THEY 
          WANT TO BE INVOLVED. >> TODAY, THE REQUIREMENT IS TEN 
          AND WE HAVE A MOTION FOR 11. >> UNDER THE STRUCTURE THEY WILL HAVE TO SET UP AN ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING AND THEN MOVE FORWARD. 
          ALL OF THE MEETINGS HAVE TO BE PUBLIC. 
          THE LARGER COMMITTEE YOU HAVE, YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE ENOUGH FOR A QUORUM AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE PUBLIC. 
          >> THEY CAN'T TALK TO EACH OTHER ABOUT ANY LAKE ASBERRY BUSINESS. 
          THAT WILL BE HARD FOR THEM. >> I THINK THE MOTION IS TO PUT TEN OF THEM ON NOW AND CHANGE IT LATER. 
          >> I THINK YOU CAN APPROVE ALL 11 CONTINGENT OF THE NEXT 
          RESOLUTION. >> ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. 
          >> CHOSE TO COMMENT STEP WILL HAVE CONVERSATION WITH THAT 
          STUFF. >> WE DON'T NEED THEM ON THE 
          NEWS. >> ONCE AGAIN ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. OPPOSE, SAME SIGN. 
          IT CARRIES 5-0. >> LETTERS FOR DOCUMENTATION DO WE HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH THAT, NO. 
          ONTO COMMISSIONER COMMENTS. PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          [PUBLIC COMMENTS]
          [04:35:04]
          >> WHO COULD THIS BE. >> YOU MISS ME THEREFORE A WHILE. I WAS ACTUALLY PAYING ATTENTION WITH THE LAST FEW MEETINGS. YOU REMEMBER I SAID THEY WOULD COME. I SAID THEY WOULD COME YOU DON'T HAVE TO THROW AWAY IMPACT FEES. NOW WE HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. ANYWAY, I THINK YOU'RE SERIOUS BUT I HOPE YOU ARE JOKING. 
          I KNOW THE BOARD WAS TALKING ABOUT REDOING UP ON BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE. YOU HAVE TOO MUCH GOING ON. 
          HE NEEDS TO BE SPREAD OUT, IT COMES TO MY NEXT POINT, I WANT TO THANK YOU. THE THERE IS A LOT GOING ON. 
          I HAVE ASKED YOU IN THE PAST, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD WE THINK WE COULD KID BETTER SERVICE. 
          HALF OF THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS ARE OUTSIDE OF THEIR ENTRANCE. 
          WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS EVERY SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAY. 
          THEY NEED ALLOWS LET ON TO 18 TAKE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT DOWN. 
          KEYSTONE HEIGHTS LOOK LIKE, I REMEMBER YOU MADE A COMMENT. 
          AND NOW LOOK AT THIS MESS. IT WAS WHEN ROLLINS WAS STILL HERE THEY DID THIS. WE HAVE HAD THREE OR FOUR PEOPLE SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION THAT HAVE DIED OR GOTTEN HIT BY CARS. 
          THE GREENWAY TRAIL AWESOME. >> SUM IT UP YOU ARE OUT OF 
          TIME. >> WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GREEN CHILD -- GREEN TRAIL. KNOW WE CAN JUST APPROVE 
          ANYTHING WITHOUT THE BOARD. >> COMMISSIONER COMMENTS? 
          [COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS]
          WHERE YOU WANT TO START. >> I JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE IN REGARDS TO MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY, WE HAVE THE MLK CEREMONY STARTING AT 11:00 A.M. INCHES TO SEE THAT. 
          >> DO WE HAVE A SQUAD OUT THERE, A RESCUE SQUAD AVAILABLE JUST IN 
          CASE? >> ALL RIGHT, YOU ARE GOOD TO GO. THAT IS ALL I HAVE. 
          >> I JUST WANT TO COMPLEMENT THE STAFF ON THEIR ATTITUDE DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON. IT WAS UPBEAT AND I THINK WE FINISHED WELL. WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK WE HAVE TAKEN SURVEYS, WE HAVE WALKED WITH THE OTHERS. 
          [04:40:13]
          >> WE DO HAVE SOME MEETINGS PLAN BUT I DON'T GET A FEELING, I KNOW, WE KNOW WHERE WE ARE HEADED IN THE FUTURE. 
          I THINK WE NEED TO SIT DOWN AND LOOK AT WHAT CAN BE DONE IN THE AREA WHO ARE THE EXTERNAL PARTNERS WE NEED TO ENGAGE, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE SPOKEN. NEW YEAR, READY TO BEGIN. 
          THE LAST THING I HAVE, SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON THE COMMISSION, I HAVE BEEN ON THE FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE AND QUITE HONESTLY WE HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING WITH AUDIT. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY AUDITING FUNCTION. 
          IT DOES NOT APPEAR SO. I THINK WE NEED TO INVESTIGATE ANOTHER NAME FOR THE GROUP. THAT IS ALL I HAVE. 
          >> THEY SAID IT'S STILL NOT THERE. 
          WE PASSED A FEW TIMES. >> THE SIGN GUYS OUT BE TESTED POSITIVE. WE WILL GET HIM BACK. 
          >> THEY WENT OVER TODAY. WE NEED TO GET ENOUGH. 
          >> THIS IS DOWN FROM A STAFF OF SEVEN TWO TWO OF THEM. 
          ONE OF THE GUYS PASSED EARLIER FROM COVID-19 AND HE HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. ANOTHER TESTED POSITIVE SO HE IS OUT. WE SHOULD BE BACK TO FULL 
          STRENGTH SOON. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS LOVE. 
          >> THEY ARE NOT AT THE BRIDGE. ONE IS ON LAKE ASBERRY DRIVE 
          WHEN YOU COME OFF OF AND THEY. >> BUT THE NORTHLAKE DAM AS ONE. 
          >> YES, ON LAKE ASBERRY DRIVE. IT IS LIGHT ENOUGH THAT THEY CONSIDER IT NOT A COVERT. THE OTHER ONE IS IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. YOU HAVE TO GIVE TIME FOR 
          DETOUR. >> I WOULD DOUBLE CHECK. 
          >> AND THEN THE THAT OWNS THE LIQUOR STORE, HE SAID THAT WAS FINE ABOUT PUTTING A SIGN ON HIS PROPERTY. 
          >> WE ARE MEETING WITH THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT TO SEE IF THEY WILL DO IT. YOU'RE ASKING THEM TO DO SOMETHING THAT'S ILLEGAL. YOU CAN'T CUT THROUGH PRIVATE 
          PROPERTY. >> WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW. 
          WHEN THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT. 
          WHY WOULD IT BE THERE. >> YOU CAN GO TO THE 15TH NURSING RED LIGHT. THE RED LIGHT WAS NOT PUT THERE TO BENEFIT ANYONE. IT WAS THERE FOR THE PRIVATE 
          BUSINESS. >> THE RESIDENTS THINK 
          DIFFERENTLY. >> I WILL CHECK TO SEE IF THEY WILL AGREE TO PUT IT UP. WERE ASKING THEM TO PUT UP A SIGN TO PREVENT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO 
          BEGIN WITH. >> HI CANNOT GO THROUGH YOUR YARD WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION. I'M JUST SAYING, WE WILL FIND OUT. I WILL FIND OUT. 
          IT IS THE VIDEO MONITORING SIGN. THIS ONE YOU WON'T LIKE. 
          >> RIGHT, WE WILL PUT IT IN AND WE ARE MEETING WITH THE DEPUTY TOMORROW, IF IT WAS ILLEGAL, SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE YEARS AGO. THIS IS BEEN HOW THEY GET THROUGH. IT'S JUST A LITTLE SILLY. 
          SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. 
          >> THEY ARE NOT HERE RIGHT NOW. >> THEY NEED A WARNING. 
          THERE WILL BE ACCIDENTS THERE WITH PEOPLE TRYING TO GO THROUGH THE PARKING LOT. THEN IT WILL BE CLOSED LIKE IT 
          WAS THAT ONE DAY. >> WE WILL MEET WITH THEM IN THE 
          [04:45:07]
          MORNING. >> OKAY BECAUSE I TOLD RESIDENTS I WILL ASK THE QUESTIONS IS THERE AN APPETITE FOR ELIMINATE 
          TRASH ON COUNTY SERVICES? >> YOU MEAN UNIVERSAL 
          COLLECTION? >> I HAVE HAD CONSTITUENTS ASK ABOUT THAT, THEY SAY, WHY DON'T YOU BUT OBVIOUSLY ONE COMMISSIONER CAN'T IT TAKES THREE. 
          IF THERE IS AN APPETITE TO ENTERTAIN THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PUT IT ON A FUTURE AGENDA IF NOT WELL. 
          >> I SAID I WOULD ASK THE QUESTION TO SEE IF THERE IS AN APPETITE. I WOULD LOVE IT, BUT I'M SURE THERE ARE PRETTY PEOPLE WHO WOULD NOT WANT TO PAY THAT. 
          >> THE OTHER THING IS, I CAN ONLY DRAW A REFERENCE FROM WHEN WE MOVED HERE IN 2003, THE SITUATION WAS YOU HAD TO GO OUT AND CONTRACT YOUR OWN COLLECTIONS. 
          IT WAS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE EVEN THEN, 19 YEARS AGO THAN IT IS TODAY. THE BIG PROBLEM WAS YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THE SERVICE AND PEOPLE NEXT DOOR DID AND THOSE WHO DID NOT RUN THEIR GARBAGE OVER TO PEOPLE WHO DID AND THAT WAS CAUSING FISTFIGHTS AND THE SHERIFF WAS BUSY BREAKING UP FIGHTS. SO, I THINK, WE ARE DOING SOME KIND OF A STUDY THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON, ARE WE ASKING A QUESTION, EVEN THE FEASIBILITY OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          ON ONE HAND I CAN SEE IT AND ON THE OTHER HAND I CAN SEE IT 
          CAUSING MORE PROBLEMS. >> THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE -- I ALSO HAVE THE WHY CAN'T I SUBSCRIBE AND PAY LESS TO MY TAXES WERE NOT SUBSCRIBED AND THEY THINK IT WOULD BE EASY FOR A DRIVER TO KNOW WHICH HOUSES ARE WHICH IN THE ROUTES ARE NOT BUILT THAT WAY. BUT AT ANY RATE I THOUGHT I 
          WOULD ASK THE QUESTION. >> IT WORKED THE FIRST TIME AND WORK REALLY WELL. I WOULD ASK PEOPLE TO TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT WAS ON THEIR MIND AND I WOULD ASK ABOUT THE GARBAGE SERVICE AND NOW IT'S A DIFFERENT SITUATION. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL EVER GET BACK THERE. 
          BUT I SEE IT BETTER THAN TRYING TO FIND INDIVIDUAL GARBAGE HAULERS. WHAT IF THERE WERE MOM-AND-POP GUYS. ESPECIALLY IN MORE DENSELY POPULATED AREAS LIKE I REPRESENT. 
          YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS ORGANIZED. >> ON THE NEWS EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT HOW LOW COUNTY IS HOLDING TRASH HAULERS ACCOUNTABLE AND IT FALLS BACK ON US. 
          >> THE NEWS MEDIA IS SAYING NO ONE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE. 
          WASTE MANAGEMENT IS PAID MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FINES, AND THAT HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. 
          IF YOU ENDED UP GOING BACK TO EVERYONE GOING BACK TO 
          CONTRACTS. >> WE LIVE IN A SOUNDBITE SOCIETY. THAT IS THE GLASSHOUSE THAT WE 
          LIVE IN. >> I AGREE, LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO AS OPPOSED TO MAKING EXCUSES. 
          I DON'T SEE ANY REASONABLE PROPOSALS UNTIL SOMEONE COMES UP TO SOMETHING BETTER. INDIVIDUALLY I MENTIONED THAT MYSELF. WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT, IT'S NOT VIABLE. LET'S DO IT AS PART OF THE STUDY 
          >> TODAY IS A SAD DAY BUT I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE ONE YEAR AGO TODAY HIS MOM REFERS TO IT AS THE ANGEL ANNIVERSARY THAT LITTLE RYLAND LOSSES LIFE TO DRUGS AND A LOT OF ADULTS FAILED 
          [04:50:01]
HIM. A LOT OF ADULTS FAILED THIS BOY AND THE MOM IS STILL FIGHTING TO SAVE THE KIDS. 
          IF YOU FOLLOW JUSTICE FOR RYAN THE MOM WASN'T COURT TODAY. 
          THE BUREAUCRACY OF AGENCIES AND THOSE THINGS, HE MATTERED, HE STILL MATTERS SHE MATTERS AND SO TODAY IS THE ANGEL ANNIVERSARY OF THAT. I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT LAND USE VERSUS ZONING THAT CAME UP AT THE MEANING AND I WATCHED THE MEANING AND WE HAVE SOME THINGS COMING UP TO TALK ABOUT ON THE 25TH AGENDA THAT TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          WHAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING IS THAT LAND USE AND ZONING ARE NOT THE SAME BUT OFTEN TALKED ABOUT AND LUMPED TOGETHER TALKED ABOUT IN THE SAME CONVERSATION AND IT WASN'T UNTIL I WROTE DOWN ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS AND I CALLED CHARISSE AND I SAID, EXPLAINING THIS TO ME THAT I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LAND USE ZONING. THAT IS A BIG DEAL. 
          THERE IS A QUESTION COMING UP ABOUT LAND USE. 
          I KNOW PUBLIC HEARING GET A BETTER JOB AND MAKING SURE WE I WOULD ASK THAT THEY ASK US THE QUESTIONS AND THE ONE COMING UP THAT I'M SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT IS LAND USE ONLY. 
          AND YET ALL OF THE E-MAILS ARE ABOUT ZONING. 
          AND THEY COST OVER THE LAND USE AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION. THE FINAL THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT, RIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM A CONSTITUENT AND SHE SAID TO ME, I HAVE A NEED THAT I FOUND WHERE SENIORS HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS BETWEEN EATING AND PRESCRIPTION BECAUSE OF INFLATION. I WONDER IF WE COULD DO SOMETHING TO PROVIDE FOOD AND NECESSARY ITEMS FOR THEM. 
          THE NEXT DAY WE TALKED AGAIN AND WE CAME UP WITH A CONCEPT CALLED BASKETS OF BLESSINGS AND IT GREW INTO SOMETHING THAT ENCOMPASSES ALL FIVE DISTRICTS IN THE COUNTY. 
          I HAVE A FACEBOOK MESSAGE FROM A CONSTITUENTS WHO FROM FLEMING ISLAND, SHE HASN'T LIVED HERE AT ALL AND SHE MESSAGED ME AND SAID HOW CAN I GET INVOLVEMENT SHE SPONSORED A BASKET. 
          LONG STORY SHORT BASKETS OF BLESSINGS WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE A LAUNDRY BASKET FULL OF FOOD AND NECESSITIES TO OVER 100 SENIORS THROUGH THE SENIOR CENTER SPIRIT IF YOU GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO THE PERSON THAT AGING, WE TOOK THE BASKETS TO THE AGING CENTER SENIOR CENTER. OVER 35 TO MIDDLEBURG. 
          THOSE WERE THE HIGHEST NEEDS. TWENTY-FIVE TO GREEN COVE AND ORANGE PARK AND THEY HAVE THE STORIES AROUND THE STORIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO RECEIVE THEM. THERE IS A GROUP THAT COMES TO THE GREEN COVE CENTER ON THEIR BIKES, THEY HAD FRIENDS HELP THEM TAKE THEIR BASKETS HOME. IT REALLY ENDED UP BEING A BLESSING AND I WANTED TO SHARE THAT NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT I DID BUT BECAUSE ONE OF THE CONSTITUENTS HAD AN IDEA THAT BLESSED THE ENTIRE COUNTY AND I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          FINALLY, I WILL SAY I TRAVELED, I SOUND HOARSE, I AM NOT SICK, MY GEORGIA BULLDOGS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP LAST NIGHT. 
          >> I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS. 
          [04:55:03]
I WAS BRIEFED TODAY ON THE PLAN FOR THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          ONE OF THE OPTIONS WAS TO LOOK AT WHO IS RUNNING IT. 
          THE FAIR ASSOCIATION TALKED ABOUT IT. 
          I THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE AUDITOR TO GET INVOLVED AND LOOK AT OUR OPERATIONS TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS COSTING US VERSUS ANY PROPOSAL WE GET FROM THE OUTSIDE. I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT SHE WORK ON IT AND I WANTED TO GET EVERYONE ELSE IN THE SAME DIRECTION. IT'S A MAMMOTH OF WORK AND GET AN ANSWER ON IT. THE SECOND THING IS TALKING PROCEDURES. I DON'T PARTICULARLY LIKE HAVING TO RECOGNIZE EVERYONE WE ARE DOING ALL RIGHT THE WAY IT IS. 
          JUST DISCUSS THINGS, AND BE GENTLEMANLY OR WOMANLY ABOUT IT AND NOT TRY TO DIG ON EACH OTHER AND I WON'T GET TO WITH THE STUFF UNLESS WE GET OUT OF HAND I WOULD JUST AS SOON HAVE A DISCUSSION AND THEN WE VOTE. AND MORE WORKSHOP SPIRIT I SUGGESTED TO THE COUNTY MESSENGER THAT WE KEEP OUR TIME UNDER CONTROL. IF NO ONE OBJECTS I DON'T MIND DOING A COUPLE PER MONTH IF WE CAN GET THE STAFF TO GET US TO DO USE. DURING THE WORKSHOP. 
          WE WILL SEE IF SOMETHING FALLS OFF OF THE FINE. 
          RESEND THE IDEA OF ONE PER MONTH. 
          BUT AT LEAST HAVE ONE IF YOU HAVE TO WORK WHEN IN THERE IT WOULD BE GREAT. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU. 
          I KNOW THE STAFF WORKED HARD GETTING THE IDEAS SQUARED AWAY. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF IN THERE. I FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT HELPING SAID DIRECTION
